Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chirk

My husband and I are planning to acquire a flat in Chirk and have appointed a Chirk conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Godiva Mortgages Ltd have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Chirk conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Chirk solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

I am buying a property for cash in Chirk. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Chirk. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Chirk conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with functional issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Chirk will be able to give you some sensible guidance here.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Chirk, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Chirk with a long lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2086

There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
