My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Bryncoch. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to , pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you plan to refinance then will insist on your using a conveyancer on the conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
How does conveyancing in Bryncoch differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bryncoch come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Bryncoch tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bryncoch or who has acted in the same development.
Are there any apps to help locate a Bryncoch solicitor on the conveyancing panel? I am a keen cyclist and am willing to travel upto 10miles to meet the conveyancer.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Bryncoch basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Bryncoch conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Bryncoch do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a house in Bryncoch but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the current proprietors of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the lender will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Your being on a bank approved list is duty bound to advise the mortgage company of any variations to the sale price. If you did not allow your to disclose the reduction to your bank then they would have no choice but to refrain from representing you and the lender.
