Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wrexham

My wife and I are acquiring a new build flat in Wrexham and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and my preference is not to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

As someone not used to the Wrexham conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Wrexham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wrexham and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Wrexham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a potential adversary may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Wrexham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Wrexham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Wrexham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Wrexham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wrexham come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Wrexham tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wrexham or who has acted in the same development.
