Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Snowdonia

Willappointing a Snowdonia conveyancing lawyer make the legal transfer of property easier?

In the main conveyancing practitioners in your neck of the woods will benefit from strong relationships with your local authority, which could assist with the Snowdonia conveyancing searches that your lawyer will need to carry out. It can only be a plus if they enjoy existing connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Snowdonia, other conveyancers in the location and Snowdonia selling agents.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nationwide, do Snowdonia solicitors incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Snowdonia. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Snowdonia solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Snowdonia?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Snowdonia will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Snowdonia. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Snowdonia.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Snowdonia it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Snowdonia commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Snowdonia.

I'm buying a new build house in Snowdonia with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with Coventry Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Is it best to instruct a Snowdonia conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Snowdonia conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Snowdonia know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Snowdonia conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.

We recently discovered that one of the directors of the conveyancing practice handling the purchase conveyancing in Snowdonia is related to the vendor. Is this permitted?

Provided there is no conflict of interest this is allowable. Where you are obtaining a home loan then the bank may have a say as many banks have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Bradford & Bingley as of 25/8/2026, the requirements read as follows :

This lender has not published a specific requirement in relation to the above. Please contact the lender.
