Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Baglan

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Baglan? What am I being asked for?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Baglan. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to see if these works are allowed?

Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Baglan will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions.

Intending to buy a apartment in Baglan. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Baglan property lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Baglan is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I got the keys to my house on 2 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Baglan advises it will be formalised inside ten days. Are transfers in Baglan particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Baglan registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying a new build house in Baglan with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Baglan to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
