As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Presteigne what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Presteigne

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Presteigne and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Presteigne is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players in the home moving process.

I purchased my house on 9 April and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Presteigne said it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Presteigne particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Presteigne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises so registration formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm buying a new build house in Presteigne with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

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

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Presteigne is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Presteigne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Presteigne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Presteigne 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.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Presteigne. I have stumble upon a web site which appears to be the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
