We selected a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Penyffordd yesterday. Looking through the Ts and Cs I seeI am liable for fees even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to choose an internet firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Penyffordd?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract those transactions that abort. Dont forget that these deals generally do not cover outlay e.g. Penyffordd conveyancing search charges.
Our conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are buying in Penyffordd. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
As someone not used to the Penyffordd conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Penyffordd
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Penyffordd or throughout Flintshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Penyffordd is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor above the other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I'm buying my first flat in Penyffordd benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
