Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cwmbran

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Cwmbran. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Cwmbran?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Cwmbran. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Cwmbran. The Cwmbran property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Cwmbran. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Shortly after, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Have completed on a a detached house in Cwmbran , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Cwmbran conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Cwmbran registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
