Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pontypridd

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Pontypridd. Almost all the appartments have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Pontypridd?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Pontypridd conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Pontypridd.

I am due to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Pontypridd. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only happen when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Pontypridd. The Pontypridd property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Pontypridd has been agreed to, now what?

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Contact HSBC or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate forms. HSBC will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to get a mortgage offer. HSBC will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Pontypridd.

I own a terraced Georgian house in Pontypridd. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Pontypridd and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

My brother is purchasing a garden flat in Pontypridd. He has received an estimate by the solicitor suggested by the estate agents totaling £1275 . It was seven years ago I sold and bought a house and it cost was £495. Have charges really gone up that much?

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)
