We went with a Rhiwderin based lawyer for our conveyancing in Rhiwderin last week. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rhiwderin?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that these offerings rarely cover disbursements for example Rhiwderin conveyancing search costs.
All was ready to move into my new home in Rhiwderin next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Rhiwderin.
I completed on my flat on 6 February and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Rhiwderin expressed confidence that it should be dealt with inside ten days. Are properties in Rhiwderin uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rhiwderin registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Rhiwderin. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I bought a studio flat in Rhiwderin, conveyancing formalities finalised April 2012. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Rhiwderin with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084
With only 59 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Rhiwderin. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they said that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to say that they don't seem to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a different solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Leeds Building Society appointing their own preferred lawyer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should call Leeds Building Society to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Leeds Building Society's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Rhiwderin lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
