Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Resolven

I am not well enough to travel far from Resolven. What is the rationale as to why all Resolven conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?

Before the recession most lenders displayed an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. As a result, banks have since looked to extract more information from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

What will a local search inform me regarding the property I am purchasing in Resolven?

Resolven conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Searches UK The local search plays a central role in most Resolven conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home.

How does conveyancing in Resolven differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Resolven approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Resolven typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Resolven or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Resolven before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Resolven.
