I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Dinas Powys conveyancing practitioner on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

How does conveyancing in Dinas Powys differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dinas Powys contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Dinas Powys tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Dinas Powys or who has acted in the same development.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Dinas Powys. Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Dinas Powys are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Dinas Powys so you should seriously consider looking for a Dinas Powys conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease will likely included provisions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your lawyer will appraise you on the various issues.

I inherited a basement flat in Dinas Powys, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Dinas Powys with over 90 years remaining are worth £171,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2104

With only 79 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 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 due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
