I am buying a new build apartment in Llandeilo and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Llandeilo for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our bank Godiva Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A mortgage company may require an approved conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are expected to meet the cost of this. Try using our directory service to find a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Llandeilo on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd member panel.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Llandeilo. The Llandeilo property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Llandeilo conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Llandeilo is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Llandeilo 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

We are in the throes of selling our flat in Llandeilo. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the managing agents. So far we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management pack and then another £117.20 for additional questions supplied by the buyers solicitor.
Neither you or your conveyancing practitioner will have any say over the extent of the fee for this information but the typical costs for the information for Llandeilo leasehold property is £350. For Llandeilo conveyancing sales it is conventional for the owner to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that mandates fixed fees for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.
