My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Porthmadog. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Santander approved list of lawyers. Can you advise?
You should call the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Santander who may be able to confirm.
We are planning to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Porthmadog. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only happen when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Porthmadog or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Porthmadog.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Porthmadog lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Porthmadog agreed to, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Porthmadog. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Porthmadog conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Porthmadog.
