Completed the sale of my flat in Abercarn last May but our buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Abercarn.
I am planning to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Abercarn. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent but this can only occur after the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Abercarn or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Abercarn.
Is it the case that all Abercarn CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Can I be sure that the Abercarn conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of hinderance in Abercarn conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Abercarn concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Abercarn ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Abercarn.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Cardiff but reside in Abercarn. My conveyancer (approximately 200 miles awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Abercarn to witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Abercarn based
