When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Llanbedrgoch and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Llanbedrgoch you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Llanbedrgoch)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Llanbedrgoch. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the UBS 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 UBS 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.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Llanbedrgoch. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llanbedrgoch property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Llanbedrgoch completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llanbedrgoch is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanbedrgoch are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanbedrgoch you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanbedrgoch may determine 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 premises.
I have been recommended by a few estate agents in Llanbedrgoch to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
