Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carmarthen

After scouring mumsnet.com for an online solicitor in Carmarthen, most post that I must use a CQS accredited solicitor. What is CQS?

The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing processes via the scheme protocol the standard covers numerous firms who execute conveyancing in Carmarthen.

Is it correct that all Carmarthen CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved practices?

It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Carmarthen conveyancing solicitors were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton conducted the valuation? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Carmarthen. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?

You must advise Nottingham in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.

The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Carmarthen 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Carmarthen I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Carmarthen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Carmarthen to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than a competitor’s?

We refuse to give any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Carmarthen it shows results of numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right property lawyer for the sale of my house?

The preferential method of finding a suitable conveyancer is via personal recommendation, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have bought a property in Carmarthen or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Fees for conveyancing in Carmarthen differ, so it's a good idea to secure at least three costs illustrations from different solicitors. Be sure to seek confirmation that the costs are assured not to rise.
