I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Ponthir. Does the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally organise. Where you are instructing a Ponthir conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local energy assessors
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Ponthir. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ponthir solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ponthir is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Ponthir differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ponthir contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Ponthir typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ponthir or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Ponthir
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Ponthir conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ponthir. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Ponthir - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
I purchased a studio flat in Ponthir, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Ponthir with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With 57 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
