How does conveyancing in Dolgellau differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Dolgellau contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Dolgellau usually buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Dolgellau or who has acted in the same development.

Last March I purchased a leasehold property in Dolgellau. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

    It would be sensible to discover as much as possible about the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily issues like the tidiness of the common parts. Don't be shy to ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with their management. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending the funds. How much is the service charge and ground rent on the property? Many Dolgellau leasehold properties will have a service charge for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the freeholder. Where you buy the apartment you will have to meet this charge, usually quarterly accross the year. This may vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met annual, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check as on occasion it could be surprisingly expensive.

We are buying a three room ground floor flatin Dolgellau with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Dolgellau but our lender advise she’s not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our lender panel firms or stay with our Dolgellau conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Dolgellau lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Dolgellau : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
