Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carmarthen

When does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Carmarthen and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Carmarthen you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Carmarthen)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

The Carmarthen conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Carmarthen have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my preferred Carmarthen lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays 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 solicitors should be in a position to assist.

My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from RBS as we wish to carry out alterations to our home in Carmarthen. Do we need to appoint a high street Carmarthen solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

Principality have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Carmarthen has been accepted, what happens next?

Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Principality or the financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Principality will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Georgian property in Carmarthen. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Carmarthen and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
