What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Llay?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Llay or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Llay should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You must always trust your solicitor above the other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am considering applying for a Yorkshire BS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Llay with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Yorkshire BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Llay I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Llay suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 lawyer concerning this matter.

I am hoping to sign contracts shortly on a garden flat in Llay. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report on Monday. What should I be looking out for?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Llay should include some of the following:

What options are available to the landlord where you breach a clause of your lease? Repair and maintenance of the property Ground rent - what is payable and when you need to pay, and also know whether this will change in the future Advice as to the provision as set out in the lease to to contribute towards maintenance costs - in relation to the building, and the more general rights a tenant enjoys Defining your rights in relation to common areas in the block.By way of example, does the lease grant a right of way over an accessway or hallways?

I acquired a split level flat in Llay, conveyancing was carried out April 1996. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Llay with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2086

With 61 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
