Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Criccieth

At long last a loan offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom garden flat is due within the next few days. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Criccieth?

You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the cheapest conveyancing in Criccieth. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Criccieth. The optimum result, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were looking for.

We are due to exchange buying a property in Criccieth but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Yorkshire BS will not permit this. Should they have been involved?

Your solicitor that is on a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Yorkshire BS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Criccieth.

I am purchasing a property in Criccieth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Skipton your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Criccieth.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Criccieth conveyancer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Criccieth solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I need some fast conveyancing in Criccieth as I have pressure to sign on the dotted line inside one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no law firm would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Criccieth the following are examples of what can arise and adversely affect market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Criccieth I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Criccieth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
