As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Tonyrefail?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Tonyrefail or throughout Rhondda Cynon Taff is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Tonyrefail is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Tonyrefail. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Barclays, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to refinance then Barclays will require that you use a conveyancer on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Barclays mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Tonyrefail I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tonyrefail for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
We are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Tonyrefail. I am am starting to be disappointed with the level of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers.

Me and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a house and had meeting on Monday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Tonyrefail on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
