Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Caerleon

We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Caerleon who is on the Santander solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Caerleon.

My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Caerleon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Caerleon conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Caerleon. We have lived in Caerleon for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Caerleon?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Caerleon. 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…’

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Caerleon I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Caerleon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Is it best to choose a Caerleon conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the conveyancing but they are based 200miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Caerleon conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Caerleon conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.

I own a leasehold house in Caerleon. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Caerleon who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Caerleon conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. 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.

Caerleon Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries before buying

    The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold reversion is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants enjoy being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently employed where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Most Caerleon leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the management company. Where you acquire the apartment you will have to meet this contribution, usually in instalments during the year. This could be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, normally this is not a significant figure, say about £25-£75 but you should to check as on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. It would be prudent to investigate if the the lease includes any adverse restrictions in the lease. For instance it is fairly common in Caerleon leases that pets are not allowed in certain buildings in Caerleon. If you love the flatin Caerleon however your cat is not allowed to live with you then you will be presented with a difficult decision.
