Having sold my house in Llay last July but our buyer keeps texting daily to say her conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Post completion of your sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Llay.

My colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Llay I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Llay conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Llay around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Llay Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Llay.

The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Llay 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Llay. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Llay who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Llay conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
