There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Gwernaffield but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the lowest Gwernaffield conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am expecting a AIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Gwernaffield solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Gwernaffield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
Our sealed bid on a house in Gwernaffield has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Gwernaffield. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Gwernaffield conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Gwernaffield conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Gwernaffield.
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Gwernaffield for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Gwernaffield is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Gwernaffield are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gwernaffield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gwernaffield may ascertain 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.
