I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Brymbo. Almost all the flats have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Brymbo?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Brymbo conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. If time pressures and driving down costs are top of your concerns you should consider with your lawyer about the viability of search insurance
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Brymbo. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Brymbo involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Brymbo differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brymbo approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Brymbo usually buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brymbo or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Brymbo is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Brymbo are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brymbo you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brymbo may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
