At long last a mortgage offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom maisonette is to be issued within the next few days. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Glynneath?

Finally the sale completed on my house in Glynneath last July yet the purchaser is whats apping daily to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion steps just for conveyancing in Glynneath.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Glynneath. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Glynneath?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Glynneath conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality conducted the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am purchasing a property in Glynneath. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Principality where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Glynneath.
My brother has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Glynneath. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're considering.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Glynneath from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Glynneath can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ lawyers. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is under 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Glynneath leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you dont have the approvals in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor first. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Glynneath home move. Where a new share certificate is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing.
