I am expecting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Wrexham. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wrexham? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Wrexham conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your conveyancer cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Wrexham 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wrexham prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wrexham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Wrexham especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Wrexham.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Wrexham
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Wrexham conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Wrexham. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Wrexham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Best to be warned whether changing the roof or some other significant cost is pending that will be shared by the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the service costs or result in a one off invoice.

By way of example it is reasonably common in Wrexham leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Wrexham.
