We are due to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Ceredigion. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.

How does conveyancing in Ceredigion differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ceredigion approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Ceredigion tend to purchase 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 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 Ceredigion or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Ceredigion I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ceredigion in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that some lenders have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
