We are selling our apartment in Flintshire. Does my need to be required to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I am selling our house in Flintshire and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Flintshire. We have lived in Flintshire for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Flintshire 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
Am I better off to appoint a Flintshire conveyancing solicitor based in the area that I am buying? We have a good friend who can execute the conveyancing but his firm is located a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Flintshire conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Flintshire conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
