The Merthyr Tydfil conveyancing firm handling our Merthyr Tydfil conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Merthyr Tydfil solicitor on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Merthyr Tydfil bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Merthyr Tydfil conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Merthyr Tydfil solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Merthyr Tydfil completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Merthyr Tydfil differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Merthyr Tydfil come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Merthyr Tydfil tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Merthyr Tydfil or who has acted in the same development.

Please set examples of distinct benefits to choosing a high street conveyancing practitioner in Merthyr Tydfil
Many purchasers and sellers in Merthyr Tydfil choose a local property lawyer so that they can visit just in case they have problems, and to execute documents rather taking the chance of depending on the post.
There is a marginal advantage when selecting a property lawyer local to the property you are purchasing, due to the familiarity of the locality and potential local issues - yet this is debatable. The majority of conveyancers conduct their work by way of email and may be based anywhere.
