We were just about to exchange contracts for a property in Ammanford. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with Accord Mortgages Ltd expires on 23/3/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 25/3/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who will calculate if he or she is should be discussing with the lender, vendor’s representatives, property agents or indeed all three taking into account what has gone on in your transaction as of today.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Ammanford. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Ammanford?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers located in Ammanford on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental charge for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Ammanford property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Ammanford has been agreed to, now what?

The property agent will need to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Santander or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Santander will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ammanford.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Ammanford house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Ammanford.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Ammanford I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ammanford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
