We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Vale Of Glamorgan who is on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Vale Of Glamorgan. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Vale Of Glamorgan?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Vale Of Glamorgan on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Vale Of Glamorgan conveyancer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Vale Of Glamorgan solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Vale Of Glamorgan solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Vale Of Glamorgan. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Vale Of Glamorgan is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Vale Of Glamorgan are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Vale Of Glamorgan you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Vale Of Glamorgan may decide 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.
My husband and I are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan. I am am extremely frustrated with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has your loan offer been issued?

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan what are the most frequent lease problems?
Leasehold conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Virgin Money, and Aldermore all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
