Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Tonypandy costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Tonypandy and elsewhere usually necessitates more work compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord about serving applicable notices, securing current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Tonypandy. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Tonypandy?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
About to purchase apartment in Tonypandy. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tonypandy solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Tonypandy solicitor having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality 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 conveyancer 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 Tonypandy postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Tonypandy.
