Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan

Me and my fiance are intending to buy a 3 bedroom apartment in Vale Of Glamorgan with a mortgage. We have a Vale Of Glamorgan solicitor, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the lender panel solicitors or retain our Vale Of Glamorgan lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not demand that the lender use our Vale Of Glamorgan solicitor ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Vale Of Glamorgan conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations.

It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Vale Of Glamorgan on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Lloyds but by your Vale Of Glamorgan conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Vale Of Glamorgan in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on such a house.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Me and my fiance are expecting to complete buying a property in Vale Of Glamorgan but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the owner of five thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the mortgage company will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

Any property lawyer listed on the lender approved list is duty bound to disclose to the mortgage company of any changes to the purchase figure. In the event that you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to your bank then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
