Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crynant

I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Crynant. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Crynant conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established Crynant assessors

Now that you have to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the deal. An auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises.

Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Crynant will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or require the consent of another owner. Some extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Crynant completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.

I am purchasing my first flat in Crynant with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Crynant both have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Crynant is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the premises. For most buyers and lenders, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Crynant conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Crynant, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Crynant with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2080

With 55 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
