We are aiming to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Monmouth. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only occur when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Monmouth or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Monmouth.

My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Monmouth. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Monmouth will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I am expecting a AIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Monmouth solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Monmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

I am buying a new build flat in Monmouth. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Monmouth

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Monmouth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Monmouth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Monmouth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Monmouth may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Are there any apps to help identify a Monmouth law firm on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am prepared to travel upto 20kilometers to meet the conveyancer.

We have listed some Monmouth conveyancing firms at the bottom of this page and you can telephone them to verify if they are on the Barnsley Building Society panel

Should I use a Monmouth conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal formalities however they are based a couple of hundredmiles away.

The benefit of a high street Monmouth conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Monmouth conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
