We are about to sign contracts for a property in Aberbargoed. We have hit a snag. Our loan offer with Clydesdale expires on 21/3/2025 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 25/3/2025. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to address this issue is your solicitors who will assess whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage company, vendor’s representatives, property agents or possibly all three given the circumstances your conveyancing as of today.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Aberbargoed and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aberbargoed. We have lived in Aberbargoed for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Aberbargoed 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

You no longer need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Aberbargoed. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Aberbargoed

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Taking into account that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Aberbargoed I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thetransaction prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
