Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Caerleon

My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Caerleon and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?

The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The Caerleon conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Caerleon have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel and my preferred Caerleon lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

My wife and I are buying a house in Caerleon. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

is it true that all Caerleon conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Caerleon conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Caerleon surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Caerleon 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.

How does conveyancing in Caerleon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Caerleon come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Caerleon typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Caerleon or who has acted in the same development.

Are Caerleon conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to supply transparent conveyancing figures?

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Caerleon or beyond.
