Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bargoed

Me and my fiance are acquiring a flat in Bargoed. My property lawyer has never been on on the bank conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to use my Bargoed conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Various options include

  • Proceed with your chosen Bargoed conveyancing practitioner but your lender will need to appoint a property lawyer from their approved panel. The net result is additional charges and potential frustration.
  • Get a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
  • Appeal to your lawyer to apply to join the mortgage company panel

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Bargoed so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

As opposed to 12 years ago, the vast majority banks no longer oblige their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to provide ID documents and there are still distinct advantages to choosing a local solicitor, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Bargoed.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Bargoed property lawyers incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Bargoed solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

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 Bargoed is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer 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'm purchasing a new build house in Bargoed benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Bargoed I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bargoed suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
