Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Llanfechain

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Llanfechain is more expensive?

Llanfechain leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Llanfechain conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to send the offer to the solicitor?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS completed the survey? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Llanfechain. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Llanfechain.

Having read lots of house buying 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS 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 have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Llanfechain for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Llanfechain conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Llanfechain differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Llanfechain contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Llanfechain typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Llanfechain or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Llanfechain I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Llanfechain suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 matter.

I am downsizing from my property. My previous lawyers have shut. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Llanfechain if that affects matters.
