Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Yorkshire BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Pantymwyn?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Pantymwyn 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.
How does conveyancing in Pantymwyn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pantymwyn come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Pantymwyn usually 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 property lawyers 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 Pantymwyn or who has acted in the same development.
