My mortgage broker says he needs my Llwyngwril law firm’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Llwyngwril office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Llwyngwril property lawyer about this?. Most Llwyngwril law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Llwyngwril. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Llwyngwril involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Llwyngwril?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Llwyngwril. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Llwyngwril ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Llwyngwril to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Llwyngwril where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Llwyngwril conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate 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. This means 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 needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.

You should be aware if it is no more than 80 years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the property for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease. Generally speaking the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Llwyngwril require tenants to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Be sure to find out if the the lease includes any adverse restrictions in the lease. For example it is very common in Llwyngwril leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Llwyngwril. If you love the flatin Llwyngwril however your dog can’t live with you then you will be presented with a difficult decision.
