Having legally committed yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you will have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Is it correct that all Llanbradach CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the RBS conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Llanbradach conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Llanbradach. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess 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 Llanbradach and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I am buying a new build flat in Llanbradach. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 legal work.

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

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. 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.
