Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Killay. My lender is Platform
Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 28/1/2026, the requirements read as follows :
I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Killay for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Killay conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Killay I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Killay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Killay to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
