I was notified recently by my financial adviser that my Nannerch property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Nannerch conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
Last September we completed a house move in Nannerch. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Nannerch?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Nannerch. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Nannerch.

I am in the process of remortgaging my apartment in Nannerch, does my lawyer need to be on the RBS Conveyancing panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I am buying a new build flat in Nannerch. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Nannerch
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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 unoccupied 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.
I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Nannerch. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

How much is the service charge and ground rent on the apartment? On the whole the cost for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Nannerch obliged leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for major works. If a Nannerch lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. For most Nannerchlease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease.
