Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Llangollen who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Should I look for an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are happy to spend time comparing quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were content with the conveyancing the firm provided you mightlive to rue opting for an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can act for Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do use our search tool to choose a Llangollen conveyancing firm on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Llangollen.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Llangollen?
If you are buying a property in Llangollen your solicitor will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the search fees. Generally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this will be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
I am planning to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Llangollen. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Llangollen or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Llangollen.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers located in Llangollen on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Llangollen lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
Our offer on a detached house in Llangollen has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Llangollen. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Llangollen conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I purchased a property in Llangollen last 25/1/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it may take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HM Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
