My solicitor has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Ystalyfera. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Ystalyfera and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ystalyfera you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically.

Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ystalyfera)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I have a renovated Edwardian property in Ystalyfera. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review 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 owner 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 sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Ystalyfera I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ystalyfera for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I need to review estimates for conveyancing in Ystalyfera from numerous conveyancing practitioner and decide on one. Am I right to tell them to hold tight until I I have my bid accepted on a house.
You should only ask your conveyancing practitioner to commence work and apply for searches after the sales memo has been sent by the selling agent especially as Ystalyfera conveyancing searches are not cheap.
