In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in New Quay? Is this really warranted?

We had selected conveyancers located in New Quay on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your New Quay property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

Should my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in New Quay.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in New Quay. Some people will acquire a house in New Quay, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in New Quay. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in New Quay which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in New Quay is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property 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 premises 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 New Quay conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending 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 the agreed 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.
