Souldinstructing a Machynlleth conveyancing practice make my purchase more efficient?

The conveyancers that we recommend display wide Machynlleth knowledge with a professional, can doapproach that ensures the conveyancing to progress with the minimum of fuss. It is a definite plus if they can make use of long term rapport with financial advisers, local authorities, valuers and other Machynlleth conveyancing practitioners

We have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

There are two primary downsides with signing a lock out contract (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Machynlleth conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to win an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the seller disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

We were going to get a DIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Machynlleth solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Machynlleth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Machynlleth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Machynlleth conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I have finally had an offer on a flat in Machynlleth agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Machynlleth. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Machynlleth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Machynlleth.
