The Llanymynech conveyancing firm handling our Llanymynech conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Llanymynech
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Llanymynech conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am buying a victorian detached house in Llanymynech. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include checks to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Llanymynech will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Llanymynech. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian property in Llanymynech. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanymynech and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Llanymynech I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Llanymynech suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

We are purchasing a 2 bedroom housein Llanymynech with a loan from a lender. We like our solicitor in Llanymynech however our lender says he's not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Llanymynech solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Llanymynech : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
