How does conveyancing in Pontyclun differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Pontyclun approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Pontyclun typically buy 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.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Pontyclun with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Pontyclun can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Pontyclun leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. Many landlords or managing agents in Pontyclun levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Pontyclun. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Pontyclun home move. If a new share is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
