I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Glan Conwy. Will the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are using a Glan Conwy conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable Glan Conwy assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Glan Conwy. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Glan Conwy?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Aldermore as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Glan Conwy. Do we need to appoint a high street Glan Conwy solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Aldermore would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
Have completed on a a detached house in Glan Conwy , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Glan Conwy conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Glan Conwy registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build apartment in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Glan Conwy
-
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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Glan Conwy is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Glan Conwy are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Glan Conwy you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glan Conwy may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My father has urged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Glan Conwy. Do I follow his recommendation?

I've found a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Glan Conwy are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Glan Conwy so you should seriously consider looking for a Glan Conwy conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority 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 comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.
