When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Clynderwen and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Clynderwen you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Clynderwen)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Clynderwen. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Clynderwen?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Clynderwen. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance done the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Co-operative have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Clynderwen has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Co-operative or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners.

Should our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Clynderwen.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Clynderwen. Plenty of people will buy a property in Clynderwen, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Clynderwen. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
I am purchasing a new build house in Clynderwen benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
