Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Roath Park

I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer rather than a high street Roath Park conveyancing solicitor?

Roath Park is a special area, where neighbourhood knowledge counts for a lot. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – but not when it comes to your conveyancing. The conveyancers that we recommend display wide Roath Park knowledge with a professional, hands-onattitude that ensures the conveyancing to progress without delay. It is a distinct advantage where they can make use of well established connections with financial advisers, estate agents, surveyors and other Roath Park conveyancing solicitors

The owners have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such contracts generally advanced for Roath Park conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of primary drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular by Roath Park conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is not likely to be granted injunctive relief to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Roath Park. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Roath Park.

I have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Roath Park. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform HSBC?

HSBC must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Roath Park on 24/2/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response.
