I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out property in Ruthin by 28/1/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the other lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will aim towards
We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Ruthin who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ruthin.
My Conveyancer in Ruthin is not on the Yorkshire Building Society Approved Panel. Can I still use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Yorkshire Building Society list of approved lawyers?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Ruthin solicitors but Yorkshire Building Society will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Choose a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Yorkshire Building Society panel
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Ruthin , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Ruthin conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Ruthin registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have miscalculated my finances and am a few grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Ruthin , but I am keen proceed. What can I do?
You can agree a lesser deposit. Most sellers will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
