I can't travel far from Taffs Well. I would like to know the logic why all Taffs Well property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had an approach to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since requiredmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders required.
My son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Taffs Well with a mortgage from Lloyds. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in Taffs Well?
If a Taffs Well property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale you would simply need to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the transfer, ordinarily this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things smoother in the future you may apply to have the deceased name erased from the title by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
