My fiance and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Abertillery with a residential mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Abertillery conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Abertillery 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
My company is planning to take an assignment of a lease of a shop on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-sale-no charges for non-domestic conveyancing in Abertillery for below £1,200?

If you are looking to purchase or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a whole business we will put you in touch with the right solicitor. As for the charges this will depend on the structure and heads of terms of the proposed transaction. Let us have your contact information or telephone us so that we can provide you with comprehensive commercial conveyancing calculation.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Abertillery
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Abertillery conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Abertillery. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I own a split level flat in Abertillery, conveyancing was carried out in 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Abertillery with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2087
You have 61 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I am Googling for Abertillery conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the Abertillery law firms that are listed on your website are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Abertillery firm being on the lender conveyancing panel is not accurate.
