My colleague suggested that if I am purchasing in Rhosneigr I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
This is a search is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Rhosneigr conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Rhosneigr around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Rhosneigr.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Rhosneigr took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Rhosneigr I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rhosneigr in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Rhosneigr and how can you help?

There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Rhosneigr. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Rhosneigr - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
