Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Capel Curig. I would like to know the reason why all Capel Curig conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?

Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the practice is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some have decided to limit the size of their panel they permit to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the accuracy of conveyancing supplied by any Capel Curig conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are opposing thoughts concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a bank panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Capel Curig by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and ask them to they chase the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim to achieve

I'm purchasing a new build house in Capel Curig with a loan from Barclays . The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My brother has suggested that I appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Capel Curig. Do I follow his guidance?

There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are considering.

I am seeking to buy a repossessed flat in Capel Curig and the vendor require completion within a month. Can a solicitor complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to select a local Capel Curig firm or an online conveyancer that professes to offer speedy conveyancing?

Visit your Capel Curig shopping parade. Pop in to a couple of solicitor’s offices and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for an estimate. Explain your situation and get a commitment on time frames. Choose the firm that seems most efficient. Be sure to use a conveyancer on the panel of property lawyers approved by your lender.
