It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Tonypandy. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Tonypandy involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tonypandy?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Tonypandy?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Tonypandy. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Tonypandy differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Tonypandy approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Tonypandy tend to buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Tonypandy or who has acted in the same development.
