I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Ystalyfera. I have been residing for the last twelve years in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Ystalyfera conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still show up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Ystalyfera will provide you some constructive advice concerning this.

We are due to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.

After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Ystalyfera and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Ystalyfera differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ystalyfera come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Ystalyfera typically acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ystalyfera or who has acted in the same development.
