I am buying a terraced house in Bedwas. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Bedwas you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Bedwas.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when purchasing a property in Bedwas? or I am told that there is historic law that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Bedwas?

Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Bedwas to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Bedwas with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Bedwas I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bedwas in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
