Top 5 reasons to let us help you find a local conveyancing solicitor in Rumney

  • 1 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor in the main results in a more bespoke service. When using a large conveyancing firm, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.
  • 2 On the balance of probabilities the the conveyancers for the other party are located in Rumney - if so sets of solicitors will be less confrontational
  • 3 Property lawyer conveyancing solicitors have extremely good personal links with Rumney selling agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 4 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Rumney is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 5 No matter what any alternative lawyers inform you it may be necessary to pop into your conveyancer to sign documents. Too many 3rd parties are already with an interest in a homemove without needing to add Royal Mail into the pot.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rumney

My partner and I have lately bought a house in Rumney. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Rumney?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Rumney. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Rumney.

My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Rumney. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Coventry BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

If you intend to refinance then Coventry BS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Coventry BS 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. Your Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Coventry BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Rumney I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Rumney conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Rumney around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Rumney Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Rumney.

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Rumney took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I'm buying my first flat in Rumney benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
