I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Sketty. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
You should contact your conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to help.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Sketty took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Sketty differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sketty approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Sketty tend to buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Sketty or who has acted in the same development.
Taking into account that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a terraced house in Sketty I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myhome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we encourage - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Sketty.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Sketty should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Sketty
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Sketty conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
