Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Betws Y Coed. What is the rationale as to why all Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all lender panels?
Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that the firm needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some building societies decided to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the culling of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are differing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR exposes that thousands of law practices only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have the right to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Betws Y Coed?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Betws Y Coed your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the total price then this will be needed immediately ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days ahead of the day of completion.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Betws Y Coed and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Betws Y Coed. Having lived in Betws Y Coed for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Betws Y Coed concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Betws Y Coed differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Betws Y Coed approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Betws Y Coed tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Betws Y Coed or who has acted in the same development.
