My Pontarddulais lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
Your must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Pontarddulais last July but my buyer keeps e-mailing daily complaining that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Pontarddulais.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Pontarddulais and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Pontarddulais lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pontarddulais. Having lived in Pontarddulais for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
My father has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Pontarddulais. Do I take his advice?
No doubt the best way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have guidance from friends or family who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.
Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Pontarddulais. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the landlord. To date we have paid £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for additional questions supplied by the buyers .
Neither you or your will have any impact over the extent of the charges for this information but the average fee for the information for Pontarddulais leasehold property is £350. For Pontarddulais conveyancing sales it is customary for the vendor to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates capped fees for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are duty bound to supply answers.
