I am planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Porthcawl who is on the HSBC Bank approved. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank in certain locations such as Porthcawl. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are purchasing a property and the lawyer has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the house may be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Porthcawl
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could assume that conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Porthcawl to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I purchased my apartment on 1 October and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Porthcawl advises it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Porthcawl particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Porthcawl is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Porthcawl with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 £235,500 and found one round the corner in Porthcawl I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Porthcawl for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
