Me and my partner are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Kilgetty but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Your solicitor that is on a Kent Reliance approved list is obliged to advise Kent Reliance of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Kilgetty.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Kilgetty I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kilgetty in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Received an estimate from a conveyancing practitioner for £1000 including VAT which is a tad steep considering its so straightforward. Is it possible to find less expensive fees for conveyancing in Kilgetty?
Considering it’s a sale only, £425 + VAT would be about the lowest for sale conveyancing in Kilgetty.
