Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Llangammarch Wells

My fiance and I are hoping to acquire a home in Llangammarch Wells and are in fact using a Llangammarch Wells conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. TSB have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Llangammarch Wells solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?

If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Llangammarch Wells lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

We previously selected conveyancers based in Llangammarch Wells on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Llangammarch Wells lawyer. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Llangammarch Wells. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?

Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel lawyer.

Last April I purchased a leasehold property in Llangammarch Wells. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
