I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Llandovery off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llandovery is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llandovery are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llandovery you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llandovery may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I own a leasehold flat in Llandovery. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have read on various advice forums that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too short. Why is that a problem?
Llandovery residential long term leases are for a set term - often 99 years when they are first granted. However many appartments in Llandovery were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have under eighty years left to run. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching eighty years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
