Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Caersws

My husband and I are hoping to purchase a house in Caersws and have appointed a Caersws conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. The Mortgage Works have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Caersws solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Caersws lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Is there a list of Lloyds panel solicitors in Caersws on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings visible over the internet. Where you are in need of a Caersws property lawyer on the Lloyds please make the most of our tool.

We had appointed solicitors with offices in Caersws on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Caersws conveyancer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Caersws. Do we need to choose a local Caersws solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

RBS would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Caersws I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Caersws for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Caersws and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Caersws is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which our lawyers have offices

My father has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Caersws. Do I follow his guidance?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Caersws conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have recommendations from friends or family who have previously instructed the solicitor you're considering.

What is the average conveyancing fee for conveyancing in Caersws?

The average fee in 2014 for conveyancing in Caersws was £1,395 not including Land Tax and Land Registry fees.
