As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Gilwern?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Gilwern and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, property agent and on occasion the bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Gilwern is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor above the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Gilwern for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Gilwern conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Gilwern conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Gilwern is amongst the many locations where the solicitors we recommend are are approved Yorkshire Building Society.

Flying freeholds in Gilwern are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

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 residence.

My 20yr old son is embarking on her first house purchase, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the seller agreed the offer on the apartment we rang the lender to progress the mortgage application. We were very surprised to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Gilwern solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
