Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Neath Abbey

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a property in Neath Abbey and have appointed a Neath Abbey conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. TSB have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Neath Abbey lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for 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 mortgage company 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 Neath Abbey lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Are the Neath Abbey conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nottingham?

Neath Abbey conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.

Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in Neath Abbey?

We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.

I am helping my sister sell her property in Neath Abbey. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required component of moving property. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Neath Abbey conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local energy assessors

Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Neath Abbey conveyancing?

The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

We had chosen solicitors locally in Neath Abbey on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Neath Abbey property lawyer. Some firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am purchasing my first flat in Neath Abbey with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it will jeopardize my loan 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.
