Having sold my house in Ystalyfera last June but the buyer keeps texting me complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Ystalyfera.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing houses in Ystalyfera and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Kent Reliance.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Ystalyfera bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Ystalyfera conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
What does a local search inform me regarding the property my wife and I buying in Ystalyfera?

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Ystalyfera concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 residence 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 have been pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Ystalyfera to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
