You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Magor conveyancing searches.

Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Magor?

Two types of professional can perform conveyancing in Magor namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or acquisition of property.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Magor off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Magor. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Magor conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Magor differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Magor contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Magor typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Magor or who has acted in the same development.

I'm remortgaging my existing home to a buy to let mortgage with Halifax and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a deposit on another house. The area we are talking about is Magor. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the transactions?

Do use our comparison tool on this site to check that the lawyers are approved by both lenders. Assuming that they are the conveyancer will be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and needs.

What are the compelling advantages to choosing a high street solicitor in Magor
