Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hirwaun

Me and my partner are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Hirwaun with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Hirwaun conveyancer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to use one of the lender panel firms or keep our Hirwaun conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Hirwaun solicitor ?

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. A further alternative is for your Hirwaun conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Hirwaun. 95% of the appartments are already sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Hirwaun?

Conveyancing Searches are a central link in the Hirwaun conveyancing process. There are numerous search providers who offer Hirwaun conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search companies due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of delay in Hirwaun conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Hirwaun.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Hirwaun took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold flat in Hirwaun. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Hirwaun who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Hirwaun conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I bought a studio flat in Hirwaun, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Hirwaun with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2091

With just 66 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

We have an offer in principle from Platform Home Loans Ltd who said we could borrow up to £400k. When do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Hirwaun is where we are buying.

It would be wise to appoint a solicitor now requesting that they create a file on your behalf. This will facilitate: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft paperwork. However, do not instruct your solicitor to order searches until you have your valuation report from Platform Home Loans Ltd and you are happy to proceed.
