Why would I instruct a Pontyclun conveyancing firm given that national alternatives are less expensive?

By all means make sure that you get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Pontyclun and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t waste your energy sourcing the cheapest Pontyclun conveyancer.

An e-mail can never take the place of a telephone conversation and can never replicate a one to one meeting. Our partner firms will appoint you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor who can tackle your conveyancing from start to finish, providing a level of continuity that you rarely receive from an web based conveyancer. He or She will contact you regularly to update you on any developments making sure that you are regularly updated. Should it ever be necessary to phone the office you will be sure who you need to speak to and they will ensure you are in the know.

My wife and I are refinancing our penthouse in Pontyclun with Lloyds. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Lloyds had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Pontyclun?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Pontyclun and elsewhere in Abercynon is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Pontyclun is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your lawyer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Pontyclun?

Lexsure has not been advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Pontyclun for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Pontyclun conveyancing specialists.
