I can't travel far from Bryn Y Baal. What is the rationale as to why all Bryn Y Baal conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks such as HSBC made a decision to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no accountability for the quality of service provided by any Bryn Y Baal property lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR reveal that thousands of law organisations only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms should have claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Bryn Y Baal I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bryn Y Baal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Bryn Y Baal. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Bryn Y Baal - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is frequently retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Its a good idea to find out as much as you can concerning the company managing the block as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day matters such as the upkeep of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of them. Finally, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and precisely what it includes. What is the the remaining lease term?
