Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Rhiwbina conveyancing?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
How can we tell if a Rhiwbina conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Rhiwbina obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am purchasing a property in Rhiwbina. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Rhiwbina.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Rhiwbina I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rhiwbina for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Rhiwbina
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Rhiwbina conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Rhiwbina.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and service payments will be allottedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
