Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Machen

My partner and I are planning to purchase a flat in Machen and have appointed a Machen conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Coventry Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Machen solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Machen solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Machen even where I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for instance if I wish to acquire a shop in Machen with a loan from Britannia?

The service is mainly utilised to find residential conveyancing solicitors in Machen but we have recorded at the end of this page a selection of Machen commercial conveyancing firms. You should speak with the solicitors directly to establish if they can also act for Britannia

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Machen so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders undertake their communications through Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This enables them to carry out the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country. However you can check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.

Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on a terraced house in Machen I would like to talk to a solicitor concerning theconveyancing in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Machen.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Machen should be the figure that you end up paying.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Machen

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Machen conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
