The owners have rather brash sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main downsides with signing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Llanrumney conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to be granted an injunction to prohibit the vendor disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.
When reviewing online forums for an online solicitor in Llanrumney, many say that I should instruct a CQS accredited solicitor. What is CQS?

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Llanrumney completed. 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 property 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.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am attracted to a two apartments in Llanrumney which have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Llanrumney. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
