I got the keys to my flat on 13 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Llantwit Fardre expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Llantwit Fardre particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Llantwit Fardre registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Llantwit Fardre I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llantwit Fardre suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving house, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the offer was accepted on house we telephoned the building society to issue the formal offer. I was disappointed to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all lawyer, they must be on their panel, is this legal?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Llantwit Fardre property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
