It is is a decade since I bought my home in Kempsey. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Kempsey relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
We are buying a terrace house in Kempsey. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Kempsey can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Kempsey solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Kempsey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Kempsey on 15/10/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Are Nationwide entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I got the keys to my apartment on 13 July and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey advises it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Kempsey uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kempsey registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
