Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Barry Island. I would like to know the reason why all Barry Island conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and consider it crucial to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Barry Island is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Barry Island are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Barry Island 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 Barry Island may determine 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 purchased a house in Barry Island last 10/5/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my lawyer told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HM Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your conveyancer that you really need to contact in order to satisfy any questions which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Barry Island property. Normal Barry Island conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s conveyancer that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
