This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Barmouth. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Barmouth?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Barmouth. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
is it true that all Barmouth solicitor firms on the UBS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Barmouth. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Barmouth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Barmouth contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Barmouth typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Barmouth or who has acted in the same development.
