As someone not used to conveyancing in Rowen what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Rowen
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Rowen and elsewhere in Conwy is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, property agent and sometimes a lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Rowen should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary will attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am planning to move house in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Rowen. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent however this should only happen once the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Rowen or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Rowen.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Rowen. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rowen solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rowen surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I am buying my first flat in Rowen with a loan from Britannia. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My cousin has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Rowen. Do I follow his guidance?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually experience in using the firm that you are contemplating using.
