I am helping my sister sell her property in Narberth. Does the conveyancer order an EPC or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Narberth conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local assessors
is it true that all Narberth solicitor firms on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Narberth. Are we obliged to select a local Narberth solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Narberth?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Narberth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Narberth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Narberth come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Narberth typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Narberth or who has acted in the same development.

Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Narberth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Narberth to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
