Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Tonteg. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Now that you have legally committed yourself to purchase you should choose a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will have an associated legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You need to give this to the solicitor working for you ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Tonteg solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Intending to buy a flat in Tonteg. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tonteg solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Tonteg differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tonteg contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Tonteg 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 Tonteg or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tonteg is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Tonteg are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tonteg you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tonteg may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Is it best to use a Tonteg conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing but his firm is located approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Tonteg conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were content that should outweigh using an unknown Tonteg conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
