Can you help? My Splott conveyancer is informing me me that he has toorder Splott conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. These Splott searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Splott conveyancing searches.
Having sold my house in Splott last May but my buyer keeps whats apping daily to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
After completion of your house sale your conveyancer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Splott.
My home in Splott is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my lawyer need to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Splott there could be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Splott which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Splott should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as HSBC, do Splott conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Splott. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Splott.
Just acquired a detached house in Splott , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Splott conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Splott registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
