Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Prestatyn I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Prestatyn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Given that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a property in Prestatyn I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about mytransaction in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Prestatyn.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Prestatyn should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Neath but I am based in Prestatyn. My solicitor (who is 235 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Prestatyn who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Prestatyn based
There are only Seventy years remaining on my flat in Prestatyn. I am keen to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Prestatyn.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
