We wanted to use a property lawyer in Amlwch for our house purchase. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Bank of Ireland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their member panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have reduced the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that Bank of Ireland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Ireland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are differing views about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Amlwch only execute very few conveyances a year.

I am purchasing my first flat in Amlwch with a loan from Halifax. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Amlwch I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Amlwch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Amlwch with the intention of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Amlwch can be reduced if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Amlwch charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Amlwch. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore 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 premises on the market for sale. A minority of Amlwch leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Amlwch, conveyancing having been completed July 2003. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Amlwch with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100

With just 75 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Our solicitor in Amlwch has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Amlwch. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that as he is on the lender conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. A precondition to being on the bank approved panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
