I am helping my sister sell her flat in Clarbeston Road. Does the solicitor order an EPC or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a required element of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers normally organise. If you are instructing a Clarbeston Road conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
My wife and I purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Clarbeston Road. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property involve enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Clarbeston Road can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
We had instructed solicitors located in Clarbeston Road on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Clarbeston Road conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Clarbeston Road and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Clarbeston Road is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Clarbeston Road are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clarbeston Road you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clarbeston Road may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Clarbeston Road who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Clarbeston Road conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Does the lease have more than 85 years left? Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out what this would cost. For most Clarbeston Roadlease extensions you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
