How does conveyancing in Pentyrch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Pentyrch contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Pentyrch tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Pentyrch or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Pentyrch from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Pentyrch can be avoided where you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat 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 completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Pentyrch home move. Where a new share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. A minority of Pentyrch leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. 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. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual 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 buyers or their lawyers.
