Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. How long does it take for HSBC to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC completed the survey? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Our sealed bid on a property in Betws Y Coed has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Betws Y Coed. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Betws Y Coed conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
How does conveyancing in Betws Y Coed differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Betws Y Coed contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Betws Y Coed usually acquire 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 Betws Y Coed or who has acted in the same development.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have just been informed that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Betws Y Coed. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Betws Y Coed are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Betws Y Coed so you should seriously consider looking for a Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your solicitor should advise you fully on all the issues.
