Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Porthmadog. 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.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Porthmadog

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

What are the common problems that you encounter in leases for Porthmadog properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Porthmadog. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Insurance obligations

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Chelsea Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.

I inherited a studio flat in Porthmadog, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Porthmadog with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100

With 74 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Myself and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search facility and we may be able to locate a solicitor in Porthmadog on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
