As someone not used to the Brynmawr conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Brynmawr
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Brynmawr or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Brynmawr is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
My wife and I are buying a flat in Brynmawr. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a ground floor flat in Brynmawr. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Brynmawr?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Brynmawr. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Brynmawr. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Lloyds must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Brynmawr?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Brynmawr. 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…’
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Brynmawr is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Brynmawr are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brynmawr you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brynmawr may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
