My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Resolven but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
Any solicitor being on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is required to advise Kent Reliance of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Resolven.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Resolven. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Resolven?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Resolven. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Resolven bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Resolven conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

The benefit of a high street Resolven conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were impressed that must trump using an unknown Resolven conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
