Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Lisvane?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Lisvane your lawyer will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this will be asked for shortly before exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed will be payable a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
We are aiming to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Lisvane. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent but this should only take place once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Lisvane or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Lisvane.
I am expecting a DIP from Lloyds 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 Lloyds recommend any Lisvane solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Lisvane solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I have instructed a Lisvane lawyer having made sure that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance 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 conveyancer 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 Lisvane postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Lisvane.

How does conveyancing in Lisvane differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lisvane come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Lisvane usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Lisvane or who has acted in the same development.
