My Pembroke solicitor has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Pembroke and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Pembroke conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pembroke. We have lived in Pembroke for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with 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 sickness)

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pembroke. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Pembroke - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Its a good idea to find out as much as you can regarding the company managing the building as they will either make life much simpler or a lot more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily issues such as the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of other tenants what they think of them. Finally, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the relevant party and precisely what it includes. Best to be warned whether redecorating or some other significant cost is pending that will be shared by the tenants and could well dramatically increase the the maintenance fees or necessitate a specific invoice. The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders enjoy control and even though a managing agent is frequently retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders.
