I am thinking of remortgaging my property in Ystalyfera, does my lawyer need to be on the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, but Bank of Ireland would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

How does conveyancing in Ystalyfera differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ystalyfera contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Ystalyfera 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ystalyfera or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Ystalyfera I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ystalyfera suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am disposing of a house in Swansea but I am based in Ystalyfera. My solicitor (who is 200 kilometers awayneeds me to sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Ystalyfera who can attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Ystalyfera
