I plan on acquiring a maisonette in Blaenau Ffestiniog. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Proceed with your preferred Blaenau Ffestiniog property lawyer but your bank will no doubt retain a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges and probable delay.
- Choose a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to seek to join the mortgage company panel
My apartment in Blaenau Ffestiniog is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the conveyancer have to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
What can a local search inform me regarding the house we're purchasing in Blaenau Ffestiniog?
Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search will supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic headings.
How does conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Blaenau Ffestiniog approach 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 Blaenau Ffestiniog typically purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Blaenau Ffestiniog or who has acted in the same development.
