I plan on acquiring a ground floor flat in Hengoed. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still retain my Hengoed conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You must instruct a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you require a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One may instruct a Hengoed conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, where the solicitor appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Hengoed?

My wife and I are buying a flat in Hengoed. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Hengoed. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hengoed?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Hengoed. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Hengoed solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Hengoed. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hengoed
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
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 straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hengoed is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hengoed are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hengoed you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hengoed may decide 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 residence.
