What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Henllys?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Henllys and elsewhere in Torfaen is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Henllys should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Henllys house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Henllys.

On the whole, the majority of problems revealed in Henllys conveyancing search responses can be handled before completion or title insurance may be put on cover. You need to remember that although you are acquiring the premises and may be content to accept the search results, your lender may not, and ultimately the decision rests with them.
