Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cwmbran

My wife and I are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Cwmbran with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Cwmbran lawyer, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to instruct one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Cwmbran conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to require that the bank use our Cwmbran conveyancing practitioner ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Cwmbran conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

In the event thatI was to acquire a simple residential housein Cwmbran for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Cwmbran?

The sole saving you would make on is the costs for searches. Your lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial estate in Cwmbran?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Cwmbran will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Cwmbran. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Cwmbran.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Cwmbran it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Cwmbran commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Cwmbran.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Cwmbran 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may buy or sell your house without a hitch. If copies can’t be found, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.

How do I use the search tool to select a conveyancing solicitor in Cwmbran on the panel for my bank?

Step one is to pick a bank such as Lloyds TSB Bank, The Mortgage Works or Barclays Direct then specify your location for example Cwmbran. Conveyancing firms in Cwmbran and beyond will then be shown.

Me and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have requested HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please utilise our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Cwmbran on the panel for HSBC.
