What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tredegar? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Tredegar. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first supplying proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.

How does conveyancing in Tredegar differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tredegar come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Tredegar tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tredegar or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Tredegar I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tredegar for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
