As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Pontardawe what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Pontardawe
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Pontardawe and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Pontardawe is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Pontardawe. I I would like to check if they are on the Barclays approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should e-mail the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please call Barclays who may be able to assist.
We are planning on selling our home in Pontardawe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Pontardawe lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pontardawe. We have lived in Pontardawe for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Pontardawe in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Pontardawe. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My wife and I hope to acquire our 1st property in Pontardawe. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
