We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Lansbury yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Lansbury?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such schemes rarely cover expenses such your Lansbury conveyancing search charges.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Lansbury. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lansbury involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Lansbury. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Lansbury?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Lansbury. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is there a list of Bank of Ireland panel solicitors in Lansbury on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available on the web. If you are in need of a Lansbury lawyer on the Bank of Ireland please make the most of our tool.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Principality as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Lansbury. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Lansbury solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Principality would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Lansbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lansbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Lansbury 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 property lawyers 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 Lansbury or who has acted in the same development.

As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Neath but reside in Lansbury. My conveyancer (who is 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Lansbury who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Lansbury based
