We opted for a Brynmawr based solicitor for my conveyancing in Brynmawr yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or choose an on-line conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Brynmawr?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such offerings tend not to protect you from expenditure such as Brynmawr conveyancing search fees.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Brynmawr. We have hit a problem. The loan offer with Alliance & Leicester expires on 17/3/2025 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 19/3/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to address this concern is your solicitors who is in a position to determine whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, vendor’s representatives, estate agents or possibly all three taking into account what has gone on in your transaction as of today.
We decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Brynmawr with a residential mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Brynmawr conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland
I'm purchasing a new build house in Brynmawr with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Brynmawr is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Brynmawr are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brynmawr you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brynmawr may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Brynmawr. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Brynmawr who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Brynmawr conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

What is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the property? The best form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability?
