Why would I use a Ystalyfera conveyancing practice given that online alternatives are less expensive?
Its a good idea to get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Ystalyfera and you should seek an affordable quote but don’t be focused with searching for the cheapest Ystalyfera conveyancer. Finding the right conveyancer can be the difference between a smooth and a distressing home move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from an experienced conveyancer.

Our lawyers will contact you regularly to update you as to progress and keep you informed. Should it ever be necessary to contact the firm you will be sure who you need to speak to and they will be sure you're not left wondering what's going on.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Ystalyfera. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ystalyfera property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ystalyfera solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ystalyfera postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ystalyfera.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Ystalyfera completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying a new build house in Ystalyfera with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I'm selling a bungalow in Ystalyfera. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
