Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Haverfordwest 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Haverfordwest

It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Haverfordwest conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Haverfordwest both have approximately fifty years left on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Haverfordwest is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the value of the premises. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Haverfordwest conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
