We are purchasing our first property. The lawyer has texted usto see if we want to purchase additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Penarth
The range of Penarth conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What is important is that you properly understand what information each search could supply. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that information. Should you be unclear, ask the conveyancer to guide you.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Penarth , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Penarth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Penarth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Penarth. Conveyancing is daunting 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 legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Penarth
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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 unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Penarth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Penarth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
