When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Kinmel Bay and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Kinmel Bay you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Kinmel Bay)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Is it the case that all Kinmel Bay CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
I am expecting a OIP from TSB 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 TSB recommend any Kinmel Bay solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Kinmel Bay solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Kinmel Bay. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Kinmel Bay with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kinmel Bay in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold house.

My son is about to join the property ladder, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. One the seller agreed the offer on the flat we telephoned the lender to go forward with his. We were very surprised to learn that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancer, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Kinmel Bay solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
