I am helping my niece sell her house in Llanallgo. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments became a compulsory element of selling a house. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Llanallgo conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Llanallgo conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Llanallgo. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I acquired my flat on 3 June and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Llanallgo expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Llanallgo uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Llanallgo registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying my first flat in Llanallgo with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Llanallgo I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease.
