I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Llanfyrnach. The Llanfyrnach property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
We previously chose conveyancers located in Llanfyrnach on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Llanfyrnach solicitor. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Llanfyrnach has been accepted, what happens next?
The estate agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Call up UBS or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llanfyrnach.
I am downsizing from our house in Llanfyrnach and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Llanfyrnach. Having lived in Llanfyrnach for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Llanfyrnach concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Llanfyrnach which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Llanfyrnach is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the salability of the property. The majority of buyers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Llanfyrnach conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
