When it comes to conveyancing in St Athan seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We expect to receive a OIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint St Athan solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.

How does conveyancing in St Athan differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in St Athan come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in St Athan tend to buy 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 St Athan or who has acted in the same development.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in St Athan and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new lease and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in St Athan. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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.

With 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £23,800 and £27,400 plus professional fees.

Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
