I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Treforest. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Treforest. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Skipton Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
You should call the conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can get in touch with Skipton Building Society who may be able to help.
I am helping my aunt sell her house in Treforest. Does the conveyancer arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to see to?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a required component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Treforest conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Treforest accredited person
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Treforest solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Santander have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Treforest has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Santander or your financial adviser and complete any outstanding forms. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Treforest.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Treforest conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Treforest conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Treforest conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus.

What are the legal fees for lease extension work? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
I invested in buying a split level flat in Treforest, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Treforest with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091
With just 65 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
