Our god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Llandovery with a home loan from Santander. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am selling my flat in Llandovery. Does my solicitor have to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Llandovery , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Llandovery conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Llandovery registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Llandovery is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Llandovery are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llandovery 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 Llandovery 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.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Llandovery?
Conveyancing - in Llandovery or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
