As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Talsarnau what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Talsarnau
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Talsarnau or throughout Gwynedd is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion a bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Talsarnau is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Talsarnau. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Talsarnau and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Talsarnau
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Talsarnau conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I own a leasehold house in Talsarnau. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Talsarnau who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Talsarnau conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My work colleague mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your lender. This is my first home move but I have an offer in principle from Santander and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Talsarnau on standby. Does Virgin Money need an approved lawyer to be used? If so, where can I find that list so I can appoint a conveyancing lawyer in Talsarnau?
You need to choose a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Just telephone your preferred Talsarnau conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous options open to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen Talsarnau solicitor but Virgin Money will no doubt use a conveyancing practitioner on their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional fees and likely delay.
- Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the bank panel.
