My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Barclays as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Hawarden. Do we need to choose a local Hawarden solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Barclays do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Hawarden solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hawarden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
My wife and I are at the point of viewing houses in Hawarden and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Coventry BS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes 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. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Hawarden?

How does conveyancing in Hawarden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hawarden come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Hawarden usually acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hawarden or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hawarden is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hawarden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hawarden you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Hawarden may decide 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 residence.
I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Hawarden. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would as all rents and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
