We are due to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Burry Port. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this should only take place once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Burry Port or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Burry Port.
I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Burry Port. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Burry Port building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Burry Port conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Burry Port for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

I am purchasing a new build house in Burry Port with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. 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.
