Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crickhowell

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Crickhowell conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Crickhowell.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Crickhowell completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Crickhowell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Crickhowell come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Crickhowell usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crickhowell or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Crickhowell ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may not give a loan on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Crickhowell. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Crickhowell to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

What makes a Crickhowell lease problematic?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Crickhowell. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building

You could encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, The Mortgage Works, and Aldermore all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

I invested in buying a studio flat in Crickhowell, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding properties in Crickhowell with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083

With 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
