Can you vouch for a Lloyds TSB Bank accepted Ferndale conveyancing firm that can complete within less than a month? Would it be better to use a local Ferndale conveyancer or an online firm?

I just bought a house at auction in Ferndale. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you are to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should find a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the purchase. An auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the legal papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the conveyancer working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Ferndale conveyancing lawyers are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality done the survey? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We expect to receive a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Ferndale solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ferndale solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Ferndale. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ferndale and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I have just had an offer accepted on an apartment in Ferndale and the estate agent that we are using suggested his conveyancer. She quoted £1000 excluding VAT and disbursements. Does this sound expensive?
You should not rely on one quote. You should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Ferndale. Then select one that you are comfortable with and just as important, is on the approved list of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
