It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Llantarnam. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Llantarnam involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Llantarnam. The Llantarnam property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Llantarnam conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide completed the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Llantarnam. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am purchasing a new build house in Llantarnam with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Llantarnam conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may suggest conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that some lenders specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
A conveyancing firm handled my conveyancing in Llantarnam half a dozen years ago and was holding my registration documents but has since been shut down – What can I do to get hold of them?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of homes in Llantarnam are archived digitally at Land Registry. Should you need to prove ownership or are disposing of or refinancing your conveyancer should obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
