We are due to move home in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Gowerton. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this should only occur after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Gowerton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Gowerton.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Gowerton. Are we obliged to choose a local Gowerton solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Yorkshire BS would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Gowerton. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Gowerton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Gowerton conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in Gowerton with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. 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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Gowerton in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks will not issue a loan on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Gowerton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Gowerton especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Gowerton.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Gowerton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Gowerton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
I bought a property in Gowerton last 23/7/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
Contact your conveyancing practitioner - if you are not getting sensible responses, look up their firm’s complaints procedure and amplify your concerns to a Complaints Manager. Registrations for Gowerton conveyancing are not known to be particularly slow.
