Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Criccieth

I am searching for value for money conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a local Criccieth conveyancing solicitor?

Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Criccieth law firms often have long term relationships with financial advisers and estate, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time.

I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Criccieth conveyancer is advising me that he has toconduct Criccieth conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. These Criccieth checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Criccieth conveyancing searches.

When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Criccieth and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Criccieth you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Criccieth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Criccieth. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Criccieth?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We are due to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Criccieth. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only be done once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Criccieth or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Criccieth.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Barclays are being pedantic. The Criccieth solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a house in Newport but reside in Criccieth. My conveyancer (based 250 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Criccieth to attest this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Criccieth based
