It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could stored with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll where we see a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Llanfairpwllgwyngyll conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is 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 bought a ground floor flat in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, conveyancing was carried out September 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2091
You have 65 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll has sent documents to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Whilst most properties in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Llanfairpwllgwyngyll property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty exists the standard guidance presently is for the seller’s conveyancer to deal with the registration formalities first and then sell - this no doubt cause a significant delay.
