I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Nat West. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Moelfre. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My fiance and I intend to remortgage our flat in Moelfre with Yorkshire BS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Yorkshire BS. This is solely used to protect Yorkshire BS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Yorkshire BS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Moelfre?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Moelfre or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially your lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Moelfre should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Moelfre. I now require my papers however cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Moelfre is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Moelfre are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moelfre you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moelfre may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Given that I will soon spend 450k on a terraced house in Moelfre I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning theconveyancing before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be conducting your conveyancing in Moelfre.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Moelfre should be the figure that you are charged.
