I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Pontllanfraith but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Pontllanfraith and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pontllanfraith but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Pontllanfraith building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Pontllanfraith conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Pontllanfraith solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Pontllanfraith has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Nottingham or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant paperwork. Nottingham will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Pontllanfraith.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Pontllanfraith 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Pontllanfraith. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Pontllanfraith
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Pontllanfraith conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
