We decided to go with a Morriston based solicitor for my conveyancing in Morriston last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Morriston?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the cases that fail to complete. Please beware that such offerings generally do not cover expenses by way of example Morriston conveyancing search charges.
I am hoping to move into my new home in Morriston next Monday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Morriston.

My wife and I are buying a property in Morriston. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Morriston. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Morriston will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Our sealed bid on a detached house in Morriston has been accepted, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Morriston. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Morriston conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
Just acquired a terraced house in Morriston , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Morriston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Morriston is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been pointed in your direction by a couple of local estate agents in Morriston to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over another?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
