Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Crynant. What is the rationale as to why all Crynant lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders purging a number of firms off their panel of approved lawyers .

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Crynant took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Crynant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crynant come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Crynant tend to purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Crynant or who has acted in the same development.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Crynant. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Crynant who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Crynant conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Who are the managing agents? Where a Crynant lease has less than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Crynantlease extensions you would be required to have been the owner of the property for two years before you are entitled to extend the lease. It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other major work is pending that will be shared between the tenants and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a one time invoice.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Crynant accepted, the vendor does nevertheless have an associated purchase. The current proprietors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Crynant. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started with Coventry BS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Crynant conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
