I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Pontardawe. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Please could you vouch for a National Westminster Bank accepted Pontardawe conveyancing solicitor who can have us moved in within 28 days? Would it be better to use a high street Pontardawe practice or an internet firm?

Visit some well established law practices and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your expectations together with the reasons and get an assurance on speed. Choose the one that you trust.
I purchased a freehold residence in Pontardawe but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Pontardawe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pontardawe but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am being advised by my lawyer that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Pontardawe?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
When it comes to lenders such as Skipton, do Pontardawe solicitors incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
About to purchase flat in Pontardawe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Pontardawe solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Pontardawe I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Pontardawe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Pontardawe. I need to find out if they are listed on the lender's conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
It’s a good idea phone the lawyer to enquire if they are on the bank's approved list. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can make some checks for you. Should the firm not be on the conveyancing panel we can certainly arrange a reputable conveyancing solicitor in Pontardawe on the approved list for your lender.
