My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Pontypridd and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with TSB.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being a right pain. The Pontypridd solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
About to purchase flat in Pontypridd. 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 Nottingham 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 Pontypridd property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when acquiring a house in Pontypridd? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Pontypridd?
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you could assume that lawyers delivering conveyancing in Pontypridd to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Am I better off to appoint a Pontypridd conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can perform the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The benefit of a local Pontypridd conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Pontypridd know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Pontypridd conveyancing solicitor just because they are Pontypridd based.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pontypridd. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Pontypridd - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My fiance is buying a garden flat in Pontypridd. He was given a quote by the conveyancer connected to the estate agents totaling £1385 . It was seven years ago since I sold and bought a home and the bill was £440. Have charges really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Pontypridd searches, land registry fees, etc)
