Is the fact that my conveyancer in Cilcain is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Cilcain conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

How does conveyancing in Cilcain differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cilcain approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Cilcain typically purchase the land, 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 Cilcain or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Cilcain. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
