Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Glynneath?

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Glynneath solicitor on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Glynneath. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Just acquired a terraced house in Glynneath , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Glynneath conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Glynneath registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Glynneath differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Glynneath contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Glynneath typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Glynneath or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Glynneath is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Glynneath are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Glynneath you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glynneath may ascertain 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 premises.

I am buying a flat with all finances in place. My conveyancer has been given with two distinct forms of photographic identification, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the money is in place and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake DVD.
