Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gowerton

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Gowerton even where I’m not buying or selling a house, for example where I wish to buy an office in Gowerton with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society?

What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Bank of Ireland Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Gowerton?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

How does conveyancing in Gowerton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Gowerton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Gowerton typically buy the real estate, 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 Gowerton or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Gowerton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Gowerton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gowerton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gowerton may decide 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 property.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Gowerton and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Gowerton. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Gowerton area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Gowerton. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

Last January I purchased a leasehold house in Gowerton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

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. Strange as it may seem, 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 be sure 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).

I purchased a leasehold flat in Gowerton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Gowerton with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2078

With 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
