Why would one appoint a Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancing firm when online conveyancers are so much cheaper?

By all means make sure that you contrast conveyancing costs in Llanwrtyd Wells and you should seek a reasonable fee calculation but don’t waste your energy looking for the cheapest Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancer.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Llanwrtyd Wells. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Llanwrtyd Wells involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Llanwrtyd Wells based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Llanwrtyd Wells.

I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Llanwrtyd Wells property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Llanwrtyd Wells is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

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

Our offer on a detached house in Llanwrtyd Wells has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Llanwrtyd Wells. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Llanwrtyd Wells for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancing specialists.
