This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Trearddur Bay. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Trearddur Bay?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Trearddur Bay. The Trearddur Bay property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Trearddur Bay conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling our house in Trearddur Bay and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Trearddur Bay conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Trearddur Bay. We have lived in Trearddur Bay for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying a new build house in Trearddur Bay with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Trearddur Bay before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on such a house.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Trearddur Bay. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
