Is it possible for conveyancing in Kenton to be completed inside 3 weeks?
Where the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and intelligence. It is possible that they would have handled previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Kenton conveyancing solicitor. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is understood that 18% of Kenton conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being delayed by as much as 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Kenton conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Kenton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Kenton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Kenton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kenton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a house in Neath but live in Kenton. My lawyer (based 200 miles awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising.

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Kenton
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Kenton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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).
