I instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Llanbradach today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to choose an internet lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Llanbradach?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that abort. Also remember that these deals generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Llanbradach conveyancing search charges.
My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Llanbradach. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property involve enquiries to see if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Llanbradach will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Is it the case that all Llanbradach conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
We were going to get a DIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Llanbradach solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llanbradach solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Llanbradach?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Llanbradach. 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…’
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Llanbradach. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Llanbradach
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Last September I purchased a leasehold flat in Llanbradach. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
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. However, 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 ensure 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 acquired a leasehold flat in Llanbradach, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Llanbradach with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2094
You have 68 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
