I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Pontarddulais by 4/3/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your lease until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they chase the sellers lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look towards
It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Pontarddulais. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Pontarddulais relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Aldermore as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Pontarddulais. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Pontarddulais solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Aldermore do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Pontarddulais conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Pontarddulais accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Pontarddulais. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Pontarddulais conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Pontarddulais.
