I am not well enough to travel far from Ammanford. Please explain the reason why all Ammanford solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders displayed an approach to risk which is different from today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since soughtmore information from law firms about their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders insisted on.
We are selling our property in Ammanford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ammanford conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ammanford. We have lived in Ammanford for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ammanford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ammanford conveyancing specialists.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Ammanford prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Ammanford. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
