We're in Maesteg, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are buying a property in Maesteg. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are planning to move property in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Maesteg. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent however this should only be done when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Maesteg or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Maesteg.
The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Maesteg. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Your original mortgage agreement with Leeds Building Society will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.

I suspect that he will just be need to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the lawyer however he is anxious it could delay the conveyancing. Should he appoint a solicitor to update the Land Registry details for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the register providing you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
The purchaser’s solicitor should examine the registered entries and ask for evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
