Completed the sale of my flat in Llanfechain last June but our buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to moan that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Llanfechain.
My Solicitor in Llanfechain is not on the Clydesdale Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Clydesdale list of approved lawyers?

I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Llanfechain conveyancer on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Llanfechain solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Llanfechain surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Llanfechain I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Llanfechain for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The freeholder has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Llanfechain?
Llanfechain conveyancing on leasehold apartments often necessitates the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They may invoice a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Llanfechain, conveyancing having been completed May 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Llanfechain with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2088
With 63 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £16,200 and £18,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
