My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Pontarddulais. Are we obliged to choose a high street Pontarddulais solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Leeds Building Society do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Pontarddulais solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Our offer on a property in Pontarddulais has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Pontarddulais. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Pontarddulais conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Pontarddulais.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of delay in Pontarddulais house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Pontarddulais.

How does conveyancing in Pontarddulais differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Pontarddulais approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Pontarddulais tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pontarddulais or who has acted in the same development.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Pontarddulais and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business lessees, giving them the right to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Pontarddulais

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Pontarddulais

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Pontarddulais conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
