My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Neath Abbey. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should phone the conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should get in touch with Yorkshire Building Society who may be able to assist.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Neath Abbey. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Neath Abbey?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Neath Abbey. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Neath Abbey. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent but this should only occur when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Neath Abbey or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Neath Abbey.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Neath Abbey. Do we need to choose a local Neath Abbey solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Virgin Money don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Neath Abbey is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Neath Abbey are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Neath Abbey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Neath Abbey may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Neath Abbey ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Neath Abbey conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Neath Abbey conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
