Principality conveyancing panel

If you are buying a house with a Principality mortgage, you need to choose a solicitor approved by them. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Principality conveyancing panel, meaning that we can represent both them and you in your house purchase.

Should your conveyancer not be a solicitor approved by Principality conveyancing panel, you might need to switch to a different solicitor during the transaction, which is likely to cause a delay. Alternatively, Principality Building Society would need to instruct their own legal representatives, and the cost of this would be passed on to you, meaning an extra and unnecessary expense.

In addition to being approved by the Principality conveyancing panel, we are accredited by the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme and are on the panels of all major high street lenders.

We have a reputation for dealing promptly and efficiently with conveyancing transactions, ensuring clients can move as quickly as possible. Our many years of experience mean we can handle complications effectively, avoiding delays.

Getting started with a property purchase

If you are thinking of buying a property with a Principality mortgage and you would like us to represent you, call us today, and we will put the process in motion. We will let you have the initial forms to complete and verify your identity so that a file can be opened. We will then be ready to start work as soon as you have an offer accepted and the seller’s solicitor sends us the contract package.

Tying in a property sale and purchase

If you are also selling a property at the same time, you will need to fill in a property information and fixtures and fittings list for your buyer. These forms run to several pages, and you may need to find additional documents to accompany them, for example, planning consent for alterations and guarantees for work such as new windows.

Give us a ring now, and we will be able to let you have the forms to start work on, so that as soon as you have a buyer, we will be in a position to send out the contract papers. This sort of preparatory work can reduce the time taken to reach the exchange of contracts.

How long does it take to buy a property?

It is hard to predict how long conveyancing will take, particularly if you are involved in a chain, as it will be necessary to wait until everyone is ready to go ahead. If your chain is just two or three parties, a transaction will generally be considerably faster than with a long chain. To discuss the process and ask any questions you may have about when work can be started on your purchase, give us a ring, and we will be happy to go through everything with you.
