My solicitor has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llangammarch Wells?

The appropriate level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

Is it the case that all Llangammarch Wells CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Llangammarch Wells completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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 buying a new build house in Llangammarch Wells benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Llangammarch Wells I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llangammarch Wells in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Llangammarch Wells where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Llangammarch Wells conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease 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 proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 purchased a ground floor flat in Llangammarch Wells, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
