Is it realistic for conveyancing in Pontypridd to be finalised in under 10 days?
First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Pontypridd conveyancing firm. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Pontypridd conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being held up by almost 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Many Pontypridd conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments became a required part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is advertised.

Where you are using a Pontypridd conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable Pontypridd assessors

My sealed bid on a house in Pontypridd has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Pontypridd. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Pontypridd conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Pontypridd I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Pontypridd for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
