We are due to exchange buying a house in Bargoed but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
The property lawyer that is on a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Bargoed.
My uncle passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Bargoed. 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 Yorkshire BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you intend to re-mortgage then Yorkshire BS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
We are due to move home in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Bargoed. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.

Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Bargoed or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Bargoed.
I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Bargoed. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor.
About to purchase house in Bargoed. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bargoed property lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build apartment in Bargoed. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bargoed
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bargoed prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
