It has come to my attention via my lender that my Llanwrtyd Wells property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
Our son is buying a house that has just been built in Llanwrtyd Wells with a home loan from Virgin Money. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. 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 Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My wife and I are planning on selling our property in Llanwrtyd Wells and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Llanwrtyd Wells. Having lived in Llanwrtyd Wells for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Llanwrtyd Wells. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Llanwrtyd Wells prior to appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Llanwrtyd Wells. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
