Should conveyancers ask for money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Rhiwderin?

If you are buying a property in Rhiwderin your solicitor will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the sale price then this will be asked for immediately prior to exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.

we are a couple who are buying a purpose built flat in Rhiwderin with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We use our Rhiwderin conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Ireland advised that she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Rhiwderin or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Rhiwderin.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Rhiwderin property lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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 Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Rhiwderin accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Rhiwderin. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Rhiwderin conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Rhiwderin.

Our estate agent has suggested using their conveyancing practitioner for my conveyancing in Rhiwderin - Surely it’s advisable to just use them?

This is not necessarily the case and you are free to opt for whichever conveyancing practitioner of your choosing for your Rhiwderin home move. The conveyancing practitioner recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the best conveyancer, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your solicitor and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
