Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Porth

I was told recently by my estate agent that my Porth property lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?

The best course of action for you to take is to call your Porth lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Porth conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

How up to date is your database of Porth solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Do Leeds Building Society send you an updated list?

Porth conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.

I am aiming to move property in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Porth. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Porth or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Porth.

is it true that all Porth solicitor practices on the HSBC conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the CLC.

Intending to buy a apartment in Porth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Porth lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Porth house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Porth.

Me and my brother have a terraced Edwardian property in Porth. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Porth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Is planning permission needed to split a single dwelling into a couple of flats in Porth? This has taken place to a property opposite to my house in Porth and was unaware of it happening until it was done.

Planning Permission yes. Building Regulations yes.
