I am due to move home in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Powys. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Powys off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

Kent Reliance have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Powys has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Kent Reliance or your broker and finalise any outstanding documentation. Kent Reliance will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Kent Reliance will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Powys.

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Powys conveyancing specialists.
