I am considering remortgaging my apartment in Kidwelly, does my lawyer have to be on the Principality Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Principality will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I have been told by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Kidwelly?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kidwelly. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from HSBC as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Kidwelly. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Kidwelly solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
