Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Athan

My fiance and I decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in St Athan with a loan from Virgin Money.We would like to retain our St Athan conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money says his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Virgin Money panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Virgin Money use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money

I am assisting my sister sell her flat in St Athan. Does the solicitor order the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand before the property is put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally organise. Where you are using a St Athan conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable St Athan providers

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in St Athan. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include investigations to determine if these works are permitted?

Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in St Athan will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I am buying a property in St Athan. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?

Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to St Athan.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in St Athan I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in St Athan in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I'm refinancing my primary property to a BTL mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The location we are talking about is St Athan. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the two deals?

Make use of our search tool on this site to check that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are your conveyancer should be able to tie up the two deals but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make apparent your expectations and needs.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a property in Monmouth but live in St Athan.
