My fiance’s sister is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Llay?

The Llay conveyancing firm handling our Llay conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Llay for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Llay conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Llay differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Llay contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Llay usually purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Llay or who has acted in the same development.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but I am based in Llay. My lawyer (based 200 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Llay to attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Llay based
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
