I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Carmarthen. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Carmarthen. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Carmarthen conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Carmarthen should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Carmarthen?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Carmarthen will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Carmarthen. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Carmarthen.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Carmarthen it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Carmarthen commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Carmarthen.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Carmarthen 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am buying a new build apartment in Carmarthen. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Carmarthen conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Carmarthen conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with several firms including non Carmarthen conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm carried out in Carmarthen in the last twenty four months? Can they put you in touch with clients in Carmarthen who can give a testimonial?
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Carmarthen, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Carmarthen with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2092

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
