Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barmouth

I can't travel far from Barmouth. Please spell out why all Barmouth property lawyers are not on all bank panels?

A decade ago most mortgage companies exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have since requiredmore information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.

We are buying a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Barmouth who is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for RBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Barmouth.

The Barmouth conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Barmouth have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my previous Barmouth lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Barmouth I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Barmouth and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Barmouth

I am considering using an online lawyer rather than a Barmouth conveyancing practice. Am I making a mistake?

When checking quotes, look carefully for hidden extras. Most decent Barmouth high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Often online agents seem to offer discounted fees, but have burried 'extras' in the fine print.
