I decided to go with a Cwmcarn based solicitor for our conveyancing in Cwmcarn recently. Upon checking the official terms of business I seewe are liable for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an on-line lawyer promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Cwmcarn?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset the transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that such arrangements generally do not protect you from outlay e.g. Cwmcarn conveyancing search expenses.
Having sold my house in Cwmcarn last October but my buyer keeps e-mailing daily to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Cwmcarn.
There is lots of here about conveyancing in Cwmcarn but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Cwmcarn
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Cwmcarn conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cwmcarn. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
We had appointed solicitors located in Cwmcarn on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Cwmcarn conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Cwmcarn. I now require my file but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?
You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Cwmcarn of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I am buying my first flat in Cwmcarn with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My wife and I soon to exchange on the purchase a house in Cwmcarn but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the current proprietors of five thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancer being on the bank approved list is duty bound to inform the bank of any changes to the purchase price. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your lender then they would need to refrain from representing you and the lender.
