Are the Crynant conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Principality conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Principality?

Crynant conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian property in Crynant. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crynant and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Crynant. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Crynant I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Crynant for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am selling a house in Neath but reside in Crynant. My conveyancer (based 235 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Crynant to witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Crynant based
