I am buying a new build flat in Goodwick. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Goodwick you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Goodwick. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Goodwick. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Goodwick?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Goodwick. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Goodwick conveyancing practitioners are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
How does conveyancing in Goodwick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Goodwick contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Goodwick usually acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Goodwick or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Goodwick in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Goodwick. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
