I have just been advised by my mortgage broker that my Trelogan solicitor is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
You need to call your Trelogan conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We note that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Trelogan?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Trelogan.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Trelogan concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Trelogan differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Trelogan contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Trelogan usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Trelogan or who has acted in the same development.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Neath but I am based in Trelogan. My conveyancer (who is 235 kilometers from merequires that I execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Trelogan to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Trelogan based
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Trelogan where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Trelogan conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
