This site is not designed to assist those in their quest for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Montgomery. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Montgomery. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Montgomery. Do we need to select a local Montgomery solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Virgin Money would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Montgomery. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Montgomery house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Montgomery?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Montgomery.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Montgomery conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Montgomery conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Montgomery conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Montgomery who can give a testimonial?

Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Montgomerylease extensions you will need to own the premises for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. What is the name of the managing agents?
