I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Gilwern. I need to find out if they are accepted on the National Westminster Bank approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
You should e-mail your solicitor and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can call National Westminster Bank who may be able to confirm.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as TSB, do Gilwern conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Gilwern. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Gilwern. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will permit you to let 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 RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Gilwern , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Gilwern conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Gilwern registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
