Can conveyancing in Rhuddlan to be completed in less than 3 weeks?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is possible that they may have handled previousproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Rhuddlan conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Rhuddlan conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the home move being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Rhuddlan conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.
I have been told by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Rhuddlan conveyancing?
The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
is it true that all Rhuddlan solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We previously selected solicitors based in Rhuddlan on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Rhuddlan solicitor. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Rhuddlan. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?
You need to read 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 Rhuddlan 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 question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

My wife and I have today had a bid accepted on our first home in Rhuddlan, and need to get solicitors instructed. We have utilised the different rating based websites and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Rhuddlan lawyer local to the prospective new home? I am willing to do everything electronically, but I assume at some point we may need to physically go into the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign documents?
Usually there is no need to physically visit the office of your solicitor, they can post any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers nevertheless opt to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Rhuddlan.
