My financial adviser says he needs my Swansea law firm’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Swansea branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Swansea lawyer . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
We are planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Swansea who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Swansea.
My flat in Swansea is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the solicitor have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money 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 panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Swansea. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Swansea
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Swansea
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Swansea conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
What happens where there is an issue with one of the searches for my conveyancing in Swansea?
Usually, most adverse entries arising from Swansea conveyancing search responses can be handled ahead of completion or indemnity insurance may be taken. You need to note that although you intend on acquiring the property and might be content to accept the search results, your mortgage lender may not, and when all said and done have the final decision.
