I instructed a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Abergele yesterday. Going through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Abergele?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the transactions that abort. Please beware that such schemes rarely protect you from expenses for example Abergele conveyancing search charges.

At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Abergele and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Abergele you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Abergele)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Abergele. At the point of instructing our lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream lender panels. The financial adviser contacted us today to say that they are not on the Santander approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with Santander appointing their own preferred solicitor.

When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Santander and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Santander's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Abergele solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another property lawyer into the equation.
