My lawyer in Dolgellau has never been on on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Dolgellau solicitors but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society will need to use a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges as well as cause frustration.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved.
- Try to convince your Norwich and Peterborough Building Society based solicitor to seek to join the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel
We are aiming to move house in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Dolgellau. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only happen when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Dolgellau or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Dolgellau.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Dolgellau solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Dolgellau solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Dolgellau solicitor having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Dolgellau postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Dolgellau.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Dolgellau
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Dolgellau conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
