I am buying a property and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Gorseinon

Unless a previous acquisition of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Gorseinon to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Gorseinon took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Gorseinon is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Gorseinon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gorseinon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gorseinon may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Gorseinon. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I purchased a garden flat in Gorseinon, conveyancing having been completed November 1995. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Gorseinon with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2082

With only 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
