My partner and I are selling our property in Bala and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land.

How does conveyancing in Bala differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Bala come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Bala typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bala or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Bala prior to retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bala. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Bala especially if they are familiar with such properties in Bala.

I would like to let out my leasehold apartment in Bala. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

A small minority of properties in Bala 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 review references. Experience suggests 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 consent.
