Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Ystradgynlais but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Nottingham are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your lawyer that is on a Nottingham conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Nottingham of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Ystradgynlais.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Ystradgynlais. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ystradgynlais and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
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 developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Ystradgynlais tend to purchase 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ystradgynlais or who has acted in the same development.
