I am in the throes of changing my domestic mortgage to a BTL Coventry Building Society mortgage. The bank has said that I need a conveyancer for this. I spoke to my former Nantyglo conveyancing practitioner who who conducted the conveyancing when I previously purchased the property. The fee calculation they've given of £575 plus disbursements has surprised me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are content to expend time comparing costs you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were content with the service the firm offered you couldlive to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. If is important to ensure the firm can represent Coventry Building Society.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Nantyglo and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nantyglo. We have lived in Nantyglo for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Nantyglo took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Nantyglo both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Nantyglo is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Nantyglo conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
