Is it the case that all Crynant CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Crynant. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved 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.
Our offer on a property in Crynant has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Crynant. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Barclays started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Crynant conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
Will my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Crynant.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Crynant. There are those who acquire a house in Crynant, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Crynant. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Crynant. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Crynant
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Am I right to be concerned that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Crynant conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to appoint. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
My partner and I hope to acquire our 1st property in Crynant. Conveyancing solicitor has been chosen. The broker advised that a survey is not needed as the house is just 17 years old.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
