I'm in the process of transferring my existing standard loan to a Buy to Let TSB mortgage. The bank has said that I require a solicitor for this. I spoke to my former Ystradgynlais conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I originally bought the premises. The quote supplied of just over five hundred pounds has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the high side. Where you are willing to spend time comparing quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you mightlive to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to check that the firm can represent TSB.

It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Ystradgynlais. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Ystradgynlais involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ystradgynlais from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ystradgynlais can be reduced if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Ystradgynlais conveyancing deal. Where a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Ystradgynlais state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing.
