Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ystradgynlais is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Ystradgynlais and Neath Port Talbot usually warrants more hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord concerning the service of required notices, obtaining current service charge and management information, procuring the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Ystradgynlais. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Ystradgynlais?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

How does conveyancing in Ystradgynlais differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ystradgynlais contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Ystradgynlais tend to acquire the land, 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 Ystradgynlais or who has acted in the same development.
