Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Holywell

The lawyer who assisted with my previous purchase has quoted £1400 for freehold conveyancing in Holywell. I’m selling a newly refurbished detached home for £175,000. This seems over the top. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Holywell?

The charges are a bit high. If you shop around you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125. That being said, you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Holywell. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Holywell involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Holywell?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Holywell. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Given that you are now exchanged you now have to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

How can we know in advance if a Holywell conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Holywell getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Holywell is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Holywell prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not grant a mortgage on such a property.
