How does conveyancing in Usk differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Usk approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Usk tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Usk or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Usk is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Usk are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Usk you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Usk may determine 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.
I was advised by a few property agents in Usk to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services over and above another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a bungalow in Usk which is to be sold. The house has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many purchasers will insist that it is in place before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
