As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Tregaron?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Tregaron or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Tregaron should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Tregaron registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Tregaron where we see a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Tregaron conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Please note if it is less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are happy with remaining years on the lease.

Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the property for 24 months in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension.
