At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Resolven and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Resolven you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Resolven)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Resolven. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Kent Reliance, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
If you plan to re-mortgage then Kent Reliance will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

I moved into my apartment on 9 October and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Resolven expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Resolven uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Resolven registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying my first flat in Resolven with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Resolven is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Resolven are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Resolven you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Resolven may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We are hoping to buy a 2 room ground floor flatin Resolven with a mortgage from a lender. We have a solicitor in Resolven however our bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel firms or stay with our Resolven conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Resolven : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
