Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kidwelly

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a property in Kidwelly and have instructed a Kidwelly conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Accord Mortgages Ltd have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Kidwelly conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Kidwelly solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I own a freehold residence in Kidwelly but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Kidwelly and has limited impact for conveyancing in Kidwelly but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Kidwelly so that I can attend their offices when needed.

Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for banks carry out the vast majority of work through the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in the country. Nevertheless you should see if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Kidwelly and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kidwelly. We have lived in Kidwelly for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Kidwelly. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Kidwelly

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Kidwelly. I happened to stumble across a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
