The housing market in Penrhyn Bay is hotting up. What can I do to expedite matters?
First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted previoushomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Penrhyn Bay conveyancing firm. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Penrhyn Bay conveyancing transactions are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Penrhyn Bay conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Penrhyn Bay?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I purchased a renovated Victorian house in Penrhyn Bay. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Penrhyn Bay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
