We note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Wrexham?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Wrexham.

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

When it comes to conveyancing in Wrexham getting recommendations is a sensible 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 suggest that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

My offer was accepted on a property in Wrexham on 4/10/2024, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Are Principality entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Wrexham accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Wrexham. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Wrexham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.

I moved into my flat on 2 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wrexham advises it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Wrexham uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wrexham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Wrexham and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Wrexham. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Wrexham area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Wrexham. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

I pay a service charge for my property in Wrexham. Due to redundancy and personal issues I fell into arrears with payments. I negotiated a clearance plan but there is still in the region of £2000 due to be paid.

I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?

It would be wise to speak with the lawyer dealing with your Wrexham conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the arrears to be attributed to the purchasers. The sale price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then pay the fees once they are the owners.
