I am downsizing from our property in Dolwyddelan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Dolwyddelan conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dolwyddelan. Having lived in Dolwyddelan for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Dolwyddelan. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dolwyddelan
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Is it best to instruct a Dolwyddelan conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can perform the legal work but his firm is located a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Dolwyddelan conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Dolwyddelan conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Dolwyddelan based.
Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Dolwyddelan. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Dolwyddelan who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Dolwyddelan conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Does the lease include onerous restrictions? The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
