When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Penmaenmawr and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Penmaenmawr you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Penmaenmawr)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My property lawyer in Penmaenmawr is not listed on the Alliance & Leicester Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Alliance & Leicester list of approved lawyers?

I am helping my sister sell her flat in Penmaenmawr. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Penmaenmawr conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors

Some major lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
is it true that all Penmaenmawr conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Penmaenmawr. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Penmaenmawr and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Penmaenmawr I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penmaenmawr in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
