The Aberdovey conveyancing firm handling our Aberdovey conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Aberdovey conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
Aberdovey conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Aberdovey. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Aberdovey?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Aberdovey. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Aberdovey. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Aberdovey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aberdovey. We have lived in Aberdovey for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
About to purchase a new build flat in Aberdovey. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Aberdovey
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Aberdovey is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Aberdovey are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aberdovey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aberdovey may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
