Is it realistic for conveyancing in Caldicot to be concluded in less than 28 days?
First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have handled previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Caldicot conveyancing solicitor. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Caldicot conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Caldicot conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Caldicot. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Caldicot relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I am aiming to move home in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Caldicot. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent however this should only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Caldicot or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Caldicot.
How can we tell if a Caldicot conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Caldicot getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees.

It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Caldicot bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Caldicot conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
