The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Ystalyfera conveyancing searches. A conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.

I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Ystalyfera. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am purchasing a new build house in Ystalyfera with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

What are the frequently found problems that you come across in leases for Ystalyfera properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Ystalyfera. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Bank of Scotland, and TSB all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Ystalyfera, conveyancing having been completed 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Ystalyfera with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091
You have 66 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £11,400 and £13,200 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
