I am buying a property for cash in Llandegla. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Llandegla. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Llandegla conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it may be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Llandegla should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.
My home in Llandegla is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Llandegla agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Llandegla. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Llandegla conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Llandegla.

My partner and I are buying a first floor flat in Llandegla. When we first instructed lawyer, they told us that they were on all mainstream bank panels. The mortgage broker contacted us yesterday to advise that they are not on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Bank of Ireland appointing their own approved property lawyer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Bank of Ireland to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Bank of Ireland's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Llandegla solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
