Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Brecon. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Brecon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I have been advised by my lawyer that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Brecon conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We expect to receive a DIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Brecon solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Brecon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Brecon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold flat in Brecon. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Brecon who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Brecon conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Can you tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the service fees? Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will affect the value of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have been the owner of the residence for 24 months before you are eligible to carry out a lease extension. The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the tenants benefit from control and even though a managing agent is often retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
