Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ammanford

My fiance and I are looking to buy a home in Ammanford and are in fact using a Ammanford conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Barclays Direct have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Ammanford solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Ammanford solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Ammanford. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ammanford relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am selling our property in Ammanford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Ammanford conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ammanford. We have lived in Ammanford for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Ammanford. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ammanford

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Ammanford prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Ammanford. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

When it comes to my conveyancing in Ammanford should I be paying VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee

(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Ammanford conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the conveyancing practitioner's time in submitting the funds this way.
