I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Llanbedr. Almost all the appartments are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Llanbedr?
A big part of the Llanbedr legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are a large number of companies conducting Llanbedr conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authoritative source.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Llanbedr I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanbedr suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Llanbedr where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Llanbedr conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I'm remortgaging a flat in Llanbedr. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
