We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Pantymwyn?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank to check if they allow a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Pantymwyn.
We are planning to move home in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Pantymwyn. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Pantymwyn or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Pantymwyn.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Pantymwyn. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Pantymwyn will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Many works require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Pantymwyn. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Pantymwyn.
Should my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Pantymwyn.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Pantymwyn. There are those who acquire a property in Pantymwyn, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Pantymwyn. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also commission an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Pantymwyn is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Pantymwyn are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pantymwyn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pantymwyn may decide 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 residence.
