My wife and I are buying a apartment in Hengoed. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we will need to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
is it true that all Hengoed solicitor practices on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the CLC.
Virgin Money have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Hengoed has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Virgin Money or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding documentation. Virgin Money will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hengoed.

The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Hengoed conveyancing specialists.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hengoed
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
