The housing market in Usk is heating up. What can I do to expedite matters?
Where you are under time constraints to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and knowledge. It is possible that they would have handled previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Usk conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Usk conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the buying process being frustrated by as much as three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Usk conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Usk is more expensive?
Usk leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Usk for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Usk conveyancing specialists.
I wish to rent out my leasehold apartment in Usk. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Usk do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
