There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Nefyn but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Nefyn conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
is it true that all Nefyn solicitor firms on the Principality conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Nefyn is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Nefyn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Nefyn come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Nefyn usually buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Nefyn or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Nefyn is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Nefyn are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nefyn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nefyn may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
