We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Tonyrefail for our house move. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our mortgage company The Mortgage Works won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A lender can require an approved conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are expected to meet the charges for this. Please make use of our tool to select a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Tonyrefail on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel.
We are downsizing from our home in Tonyrefail and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Tonyrefail conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tonyrefail. We have lived in Tonyrefail for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Tonyrefail completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 property 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Tonyrefail I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tonyrefail for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I'm refinancing my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further house. The area we are interested in is Tonyrefail. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are the conveyancer will be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.
