My friend's step-father is a conveyancer. I am hopeful that I can be offered friends and family rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Rowen?

I am buying a new build house in Rowen with a mortgage from Britannia. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Rowen. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?

A conveyancer would have to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the replacement solicitor and ensure the offer are re-sent. Your solicitor ideally should be on the lenders panel to avoid supplemental fees and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Rowen what are the most common lease defects?

Leasehold conveyancing in Rowen is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Virgin Money, and Aldermore all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

I own a 1st floor flat in Rowen, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Rowen with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2090

With 65 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
