As someone not used to the Glyn Ceiriog conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Glyn Ceiriog
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog or throughout Wrexham is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Glyn Ceiriog. The Glyn Ceiriog property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am expecting a DIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Glyn Ceiriog solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Glyn Ceiriog solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Glyn Ceiriog. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
We are buying a house and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I am purchasing my first flat in Glyn Ceiriog with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
