I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Lampeter by 6/10/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim towards
My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from RBS as we intend to carry out alterations to our home in Lampeter. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Lampeter solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
RBS would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Lampeter. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Lampeter solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry 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 bought my house on 8 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Lampeter said it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Lampeter uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Lampeter registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lampeter is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Lampeter are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lampeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lampeter may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
