Can conveyancing in Pontyclun to be done within a month?

First, If you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and knowledge. It is possible that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Pontyclun conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is said that 18% of Pontyclun conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by almost three weeks. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Pontyclun conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Pontyclun. The Pontyclun property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Is it the case that all Pontyclun solicitor practices on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.

Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Pontyclun has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Yorkshire BS or the financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Pontyclun.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Pontyclun completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Pontyclun. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pontyclun

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Pontyclun I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pontyclun in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My fiance and I are are seeking to find an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Pontyclun to assist me in selling my place. I am aware of the possibility of getting ripped off and there are various Pontyclun conveyancing practices to pick from...how do I know which one is best to appoint?
