Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pencoed

I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Pencoed to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?

In a situation where you are under time constraints to complete it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Pencoed conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that 18% of Pencoed conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being delayed by almost 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all Pencoed conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Pencoed. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Pencoed relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Are all Pencoed Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

I am expecting a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Pencoed solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Pencoed solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Pencoed. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Pencoed 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know exactly where to locate all the relevant documentation so you may buy or sell your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

I'm buying a new build house in Pencoed with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Pencoed. I happened to land on a site which looks to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff done via email that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
