My nephew is purchasing a new build apartment in Trefriw with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is is a decade since I bought my house in Trefriw. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Trefriw relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I am planning to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Trefriw. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only be done when the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Trefriw or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Trefriw.
Can I be sure that the Trefriw conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Trefriw getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The Trefriw solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I need some quick conveyancing in Trefriw as I am faced with a deadline to complete in less than one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are not getting a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would advise that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Trefriw the following are examples of issues that can arise and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Trefriw I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Trefriw for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Planning to sign contracts shortly on a leasehold property in Trefriw. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they will have a report out to me on Monday. What should I be looking out for?

Are you allowed to have a pet in the flat? You should know whether the lease allows you to alter or upgrade anything in the property- you should be made aware as to whether any restrictions relates to all alterations or limited to structural alteration, and whether consent is mandated necessary Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your premises and do you know what it means in practice?

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations.
