Are all Rhiwderin Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
is it true that all Rhiwderin solicitor firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Rhiwderin on 10/4/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
What can a local search inform me about the house we're purchasing in Rhiwderin?
Rhiwderin conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search is essential in every Rhiwderin conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search will reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Rhiwderin?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Rhiwderin. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Rhiwderin differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Rhiwderin approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Rhiwderin usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rhiwderin or who has acted in the same development.
