I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bridgend off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Bridgend. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I acquired my house on 8 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bridgend expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Bridgend uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bridgend is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bridgend is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Bridgend are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bridgend you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bridgend 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.
