Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Torfaen

I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Torfaen solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Virgin Money will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I have been told by my lawyer that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Torfaen?

The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

Is it the case that all Torfaen CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved firms?

A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Torfaen. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Torfaen

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Torfaen I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Torfaen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property 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 existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
