Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Fishguard conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Fishguard assessors
Is it the case that all Fishguard solicitor practices on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers based in Fishguard on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Virgin Money but by your Fishguard solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
How does conveyancing in Fishguard differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fishguard contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Fishguard typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Fishguard or who has acted in the same development.
