My husband and I are intent on purchasing a flat in Llanarmon Yn Ial. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still retain my Llanarmon Yn Ial conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?
Various options include
- Proceed with your chosen Llanarmon Yn Ial property lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly instruct a conveyancer from their approved list. This will result in additional cost together with probable interruption.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel
My wife and I have recently acquired a house in Llanarmon Yn Ial. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Llanarmon Yn Ial?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Llanarmon Yn Ial. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Llanarmon Yn Ial.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Llanarmon Yn Ial and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Llanarmon Yn Ial you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Llanarmon Yn Ial)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Llanarmon Yn Ial is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanarmon Yn Ial you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanarmon Yn Ial 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 property.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Llanarmon Yn Ial. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Llanarmon Yn Ial - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Llanarmon Yn Ial, conveyancing having been completed August 1996. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in Llanarmon Yn Ial with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2092
With 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My partner and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Llanarmon Yn Ial. At the point of instructing our solicitor, they said that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker called today to say that they are not on the UBS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply pick a different solicitor that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with UBS appointing their own approved solicitor.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call UBS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on UBS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Llanarmon Yn Ial solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
