We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Tonteg. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Tonteg solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Bank of Ireland would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland panel.
I have instructed a Tonteg conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Tonteg surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I am buying a new build apartment in Tonteg. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Tonteg
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Tonteg basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Tonteg conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Tonteg conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Tonteg, conveyancing having been completed in 2009. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Tonteg with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2090
With only 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £15,200 and £17,600 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
