I am planning to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Snowdonia. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent however this should only happen when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Snowdonia or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Snowdonia.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Snowdonia. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Snowdonia will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Snowdonia has been accepted, what happens next?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone RBS or your financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Snowdonia.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Snowdonia for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Snowdonia conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Snowdonia I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Snowdonia in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a bungalow in Snowdonia which will be sold. The property has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some purchasers will insist that it is completed before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
