My lawyer has informed me that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Old Colwyn conveyancing?

The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list).

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Old Colwyn.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Old Colwyn
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Old Colwyn conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Old Colwyn which is to be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is completed before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
