I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle Emlyn who is on the Aldermore solicitor. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Aldermore in certain locations such as Newcastle Emlyn. We dont recommend any particular firm.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Newcastle Emlyn. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle Emlyn?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Newcastle Emlyn. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are allowed?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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 am intent on selling our property in Newcastle Emlyn and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle Emlyn. Having lived in Newcastle Emlyn for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Newcastle Emlyn - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
