I'm purchasing my first flat in Bryncoch with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Bryncoch I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bryncoch for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Bryncoch from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bryncoch can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Bryncoch conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. A minority of Bryncoch leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Bryncoch conveyancer. Should I use them?
Developers often have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Bryncoch property lawyer.
