The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Talsarnau. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Talsarnau property lawyer having checked that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Talsarnau postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Talsarnau.
My sealed bid on a semi in Talsarnau has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Talsarnau. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Talsarnau conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Talsarnau.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Talsarnau is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Talsarnau are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Talsarnau you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Talsarnau may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Talsarnau from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Talsarnau can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. A minority of Talsarnau leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Talsarnau leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Talsarnau, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Talsarnau with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100
With just 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Talsarnau being more expensive?
Buying a brand new home is completely distinct from the normal house buying conveyancing in Talsarnau. Firstly sellers usually insist contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your property lawyer to make sure all is in order. In addition new build properties frequently necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage company requirements are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
