As someone unfamiliar with the Mancot conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Mancot
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Mancot or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Mancot is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Mancot took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 property 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.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years unexpired on my flat in Mancot. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent would be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Mancot.
I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Mancot, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Mancot with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 50
With just 50 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £36,100 and £41,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
Is there a reason that Mancot conveyancing costs are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
When buying a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
