Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Monmouthshire

As someone not used to the Monmouthshire conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Monmouthshire

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Monmouthshire and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Monmouthshire should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your lawyer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Monmouthshire. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging 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.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being problematic. The Monmouthshire solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Monmouthshire is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The deeds to my house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Monmouthshire 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Monmouthshire before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Monmouthshire. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

We own a leasehold flat in Monmouthshire. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have read on a number of advice forums that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too low. Is this correct?

Monmouthshire leasehold properties are for a fixed term - often ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Monmouthshire were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years left to run. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
