I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Tongwynlais. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?

How does conveyancing in Tongwynlais differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Tongwynlais come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Tongwynlais typically acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tongwynlais or who has acted in the same development.

Am I right to be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Tongwynlais conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward lawyers to appoint. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of banks have an approved list of law firms you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

Am I best advised to use a Tongwynlais conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can deal with the legal formalities however his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Tongwynlais conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Tongwynlais conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Tongwynlais both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
