Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ogmore Vale

I am not well enough to travel far from Ogmore Vale. Please clarify why all Ogmore Vale solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?

Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the practice is required to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some banks decided to restrict the size of their panel they use to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the standard of service given by any Ogmore Vale conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms should have claim to remain on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

About to purchase a new build flat in Ogmore Vale. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ogmore Vale

    Please supply a car parking plan. 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have been advised by a number of property agents in Ogmore Vale to find a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My fiance and I may need to let out our Ogmore Vale 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Ogmore Vale conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Ogmore Vale do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I purchased a garden flat in Ogmore Vale, conveyancing having been completed 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? Corresponding flats in Ogmore Vale with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2098

With just 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
