Is the fact that my solicitor in Pontypridd is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Pontypridd conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Is it possible for conveyancing in Pontypridd to be finalised inside 3 weeks?
First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have handled previousproperties in the same road. Therefore consider using a Pontypridd conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is believed that 18% of Pontypridd conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the home move being held up by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many Pontypridd conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Pontypridd. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Pontypridd involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I am in the process of refinancing my home in Pontypridd, does my lawyer have to be on the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
