As someone not used to the Treuddyn conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the house moving process in Treuddyn
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Treuddyn and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Treuddyn is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Treuddyn conveyancer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Treuddyn postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Treuddyn.

Have completed on a a detached house in Treuddyn , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Treuddyn conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Treuddyn registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Treuddyn to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My lawyers in Treuddyn have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
