Finally the sale completed on my house in Fishguard last December but the buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that her conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Fishguard.
we are a couple who are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Fishguard with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We would like to retain our Fishguard conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland informed us her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? It is important to be aware whether fixing the lift or some other significant cost is pending to be shared amongst the leaseholders and could well dramatically impact the level of the service fees or result in a specific payment. If a Fishguard lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this will be. For most Fishguardlease extensions you would need to own the property for a couple of years before you are legally able to exercise a lease extension.
