I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer or a high street Aberporth conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Aberporth conveyancers often have long term relationships with lenders and estate, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Hosting specialist intelligence of the local area also helps too.
I purchased my flat on 9 April and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Aberporth said it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Aberporth particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Aberporth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am purchasing a new build house in Aberporth with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Aberporth I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aberporth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Aberporth. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Aberporth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
