My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Llantrisant. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Barclays Direct conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing you should do is call your lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Barclays Direct who may be able to confirm.
How does conveyancing in Llantrisant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llantrisant contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Llantrisant usually acquire the land, 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 Llantrisant or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Llantrisant I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llantrisant in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Am I best advised to appoint a Llantrisant conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can execute the legal work however they are based approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Llantrisant conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Llantrisant conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Llantrisant based.
