Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newtown

Why would I appoint a Newtown conveyancing firm given that internet based conveyancers are easier on the wallet?

To take your time to find compare conveyancing costs in Newtown and you should seek an affordable fee calculation but don’t be focused with getting the lowest priced Newtown conveyancer. Finding the right conveyancer can mark the distinction between a smooth and a distressing move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert advice from a trusted conveyancer. Emails can't replace a telephone conversation and can never replicate a one to one appointment. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor who can tackle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, giving the sort of personalised service that you will never get with an web based conveyancer. He or She will contact you regularly to update you as to any developments making sure that you are ensuring that you are updated at regular intervals. Should you need to contact the office you will be sure who you need to speak to and they will endeavour to make sure that you are kept fully informed.

The Newtown conveyancing firm handling our Newtown conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?

Your solicitor 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 you.

Our search tool is primarily there to locate domestic conveyancing solicitors in Newtown but we have set out at the bottom of this page a few Newtown commercial conveyancing firms. You should speak with the firm directly to see if they can also act for Halifax

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Clydesdale, do Newtown conveyancing practitioners face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Newtown conveyancer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Newtown building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Newtown conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Newtown and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business lessees, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Newtown is one of the many locations in which our lawyers have offices

My father has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Newtown. Do I take his guidance?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Newtown conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek guidance from friends or family who have previously instructed the solicitor you're considering.
