Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Felinheli who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Coventry Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. Where you are willing to expend time comparing charges you could trim some of the expense by say £125. That being said, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you couldcome to rue choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to be sure that the firm can act for Coventry Building Society.

We are buying our first house. The property lawyer has e-mailedto see if we want to take out extra conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we are clueless as to what's needed for conveyancing in Felinheli
The type of Felinheli conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could give you. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. If uncertain, ask your property lawyer to explain.
When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Felinheli and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Felinheli you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Felinheli)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My husband and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Felinheli with a residential mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We would like to retain our Felinheli conveyancing lawyer but Nationwide Building Society says he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Nationwide Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Felinheli. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Felinheli?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
My partner and I are spending time looking at houses in Felinheli and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Felinheli. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Given that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a property in Felinheli I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Felinheli should be the figure that you end up paying.
