I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented apartment in Cyncoed by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the other side, try to a target completion date that all parties will look towards
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cyncoed? Is this really necessary?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Cyncoed conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your solicitor ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
I am due to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Cyncoed. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Cyncoed or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Cyncoed.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Cyncoed solicitor having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Cyncoed surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My offer on a semi in Cyncoed has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Cyncoed. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Cyncoed conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Cyncoed.

Is it best to go with a Cyncoed conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing but they are based a couple of hundredmiles away.
The benefit of a local Cyncoed conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Cyncoed know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Cyncoed conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Cyncoed based.
There are a number of properties in Cyncoed on unadopted roads. I am purchasing such a property. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a property on a privately owned road?
Cyncoed conveyancing solicitors are used to transacting propertieson private. The solicitor will review the title to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that residents pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly maintained.
