Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Abergele

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Abergele costs more?

Abergele leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I have been told by my lawyer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Abergele conveyancing?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Abergele is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Abergele property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Abergele postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Abergele.

I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Abergele. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Abergele and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Abergele prior to retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Abergele.

Am I better off to instruct a Abergele conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but her office is approximately 350miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Abergele conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Abergele conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
