Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Pontprennau. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Pontprennau?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Pontprennau solicitor firms on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being a right pain. The Pontprennau solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Pontprennau with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.

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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Pontprennau I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pontprennau suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
