I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Llanrumney solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

What does a local search inform me regarding the property I am purchasing in Llanrumney?

Llanrumney conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Onsearch The local search plays a central role in most Llanrumney conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic areas.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Llanrumney , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Llanrumney conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Llanrumney registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Llanrumney where we see a few flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Llanrumney conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible 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 am the registered owner of a studio flat in Llanrumney, conveyancing having been completed April 2010. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Llanrumney with a long lease are worth £171,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2105

You have 79 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
