Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Porthcawl

Do the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Porthcawl?

We know of a few niche practitioners we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Porthcawl is one of our locations where our lawyers cover.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Porthcawl and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Porthcawl conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Porthcawl. Having lived in Porthcawl for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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 illness)

How does conveyancing in Porthcawl differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Porthcawl approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Porthcawl usually purchase the real estate, 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 Porthcawl or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Porthcawl I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Porthcawl in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

How do I use your search tool to select a conveyancing practitioner in Porthcawl on the approved list for my bank?

1st choose a lender such as HSBC Bank, Virgin Money or Bank of Ireland then choose your preferred area e.g. Porthcawl. Conveyancing firms in Porthcawl and beyond should be identified.

It's been ten years since I last purchased a property. Searching on the web suggests that the costs vary significantly. Can you recommend a trustworthy Porthcawl lawyer that would act for me as well as represent Nottingham?
