Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tongwynlais

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Tongwynlais but how do I know who I should use?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Tongwynlais conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

Is it the case that all Tongwynlais solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.

Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Tongwynlais has been agreed to, now what?

Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Lloyds or your broker and finish off any outstanding forms. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Tongwynlais.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of hinderance in Tongwynlais house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Tongwynlais.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Tongwynlais is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Tongwynlais are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tongwynlais you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tongwynlais may ascertain 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 property.

Hoping to buy a property located in Tongwynlais and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Tongwynlais. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Tongwynlais area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Tongwynlais. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tongwynlais

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Tongwynlais conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Tongwynlais. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Tongwynlais do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Tongwynlais, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Tongwynlais with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2078

With just 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
