It may have been a long time coming a loan agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom garden flat is expected any day now. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Deeside?
You have come to the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Deeside. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by brokers enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Deeside. In your best case scenario, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you with a hefty uplift in extras and still not receive the service expected.
My husband and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Deeside with Barclays. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Barclays had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Deeside is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Deeside are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Deeside you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Deeside may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Deeside
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Deeside conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
