Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hirwaun

At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Hirwaun and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Hirwaun you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hirwaun)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Hirwaun

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The Hirwaun solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hirwaun is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Much as we are happy to recommend a Hirwaun conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get feedback from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Hirwaun where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Hirwaun conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Hirwaun Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries Prior to buying

    Where a Hirwaun lease has less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. For most Hirwaunlease extensions you will be required to have owned the residence for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other significant cost is due in the near future that will be shared by the tenants and may well dramatically increase the the maintenance charges or necessitate a specific invoice.
