Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Neath Abbey

I went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Neath Abbey yesterday. Going through the Ts and Cs I seewe are liable for costs even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Neath Abbey?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such arrangements generally do not cover expenses for example Neath Abbey conveyancing search fees.

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was maintained a required component of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Neath Abbey conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Neath Abbey providers

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Neath Abbey. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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.

About to purchase apartment in Neath Abbey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Neath Abbey lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Neath Abbey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Neath Abbey I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Neath Abbey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My father-in-law has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Neath Abbey. Should I find my own solicitor?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.
