Last April we completed a house move in Ammanford. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Ammanford?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Ammanford. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Ammanford.
I am refinancing my apartment in Ammanford, does my lawyer need to be on the RBS Conveyancing panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
A colleague advised me that in buying a property in Ammanford there may be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Ammanford which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Ammanford should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Ammanford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Ammanford. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Ammanford - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
