Having been told to check out your service we were going to use a conveyancing solicitor in Towyn recommended by you but have come across alternative fee calculations via the web seem cheaper – how come?
One can find lots of conveyancers advertising what appear to be cut price. We would encourage you to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the quality of the conveyancing. Some embed additional charges deep into the terms and conditions. The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Towyn will notbehave this way.
Please help. My Towyn conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Towyn conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Towyn conveyancing searches.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Towyn for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Towyn?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Towyn and Solicitor firms in Towyn to choose from We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal work in transferring property. The two can deal with other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Towyn is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Towyn solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Towyn surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Towyn I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Towyn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
A conveyancing company dealt with my conveyancing in Towyn four years past having archived my deeds but has now closed – how do I get hold of them?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of homes in Towyn are registered electronically at Land Registry. Should you need to prove evidence of proprietorship or are disposing of or re-mortgaging your solicitor will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
