Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Abersoch

I am mortgaging my property in Abersoch, does my lawyer have to be on the Co-operative Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Abersoch completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Abersoch with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Abersoch can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers.
  • You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Arranging a new share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Abersoch home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.

We are buying a 2 bedroom apartmentin Abersoch with a home loan from a lender. We like our lawyer in Abersoch but our lender inform us now that she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Abersoch conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Abersoch : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
