Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lampeter

Is the fact that my solicitor in Lampeter is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Lampeter conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Lampeter. The vast majority the flats have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Lampeter?

You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Lampeter conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would absolutely advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. If time pressures and expenses are primary issues you should consider with your conveyancer about the possibility of search insurance

My wife and I are purchasing a property in Lampeter. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Lampeter conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the valuation? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Lampeter. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I'm buying a new build house in Lampeter with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lampeter I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lampeter for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
