Are all Pontyclun Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Pontyclun on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings visible online. If you are in need of a Pontyclun conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS please make the most of our facility.
My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Pontyclun. Do we need to appoint a high street Pontyclun solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Pontyclun benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Pontyclun I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pontyclun in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

You are free to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many banks specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.

We have instructed a Pontyclun conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be concerned or is that standard with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the SRA, who dictate stringent obligations in relation to monies held on client account.
