My wife and I are buying a new build duplex in Morriston and my conveyancer is telling me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to prolong the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Morriston last June but the buyer keeps texting me to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor is committed to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Morriston.

Just acquired a terraced house in Morriston , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Morriston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Morriston registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Morriston. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Morriston
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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 Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Morriston I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Morriston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
