I am not well enough to travel far from Chirk. Can you please explain the reason why all Chirk solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s point of view, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and feel it imperative to shield themselves against illegal activities.

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Chirk or throughout Wrexham is an adversarial experience.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Chirk for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chirk conveyancing specialists.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Chirk. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Chirk

    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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Chirk I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chirk in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Chirk. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
