As someone not used to conveyancing in Forestdale what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Forestdale

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Forestdale and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Forestdale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Forestdale I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Forestdale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Neath but live in Forestdale. My lawyer (based 235 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Forestdale who can witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Forestdale based
