Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Criccieth so that I can attend their offices if required.
Whereas this was necessary twenty years ago, the vast majority banks no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature.

I am planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Criccieth. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only be done after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Criccieth or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Criccieth.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Criccieth took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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 Criccieth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Criccieth approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Criccieth usually purchase the site, 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 Criccieth or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Criccieth
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Criccieth conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
I have instructed a Criccieth conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not regulated by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that the norm with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who dictate stringent obligations covering amounts sitting in their bank.
