I can see plenty of information on this site regarding conveyancing in Brecon Beacons but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Brecon Beacons
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Brecon Beacons conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Brecon Beacons. The Brecon Beacons property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is primarily there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Brecon Beacons conveyancing practitioner on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
We are intent on selling our house in Brecon Beacons and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Brecon Beacons lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brecon Beacons. Having lived in Brecon Beacons for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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)
How does conveyancing in Brecon Beacons differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brecon Beacons contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Brecon Beacons tend to purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brecon Beacons or who has acted in the same development.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Brecon Beacons. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Brecon Beacons - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Is there a share of the freehold? How many years are left on the lease?
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Brecon Beacons being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?
We do not recommend specific Brecon Beacons firms as the right Brecon Beacons conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Brecon Beacons knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
