I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Cilfynydd bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Cilfynydd conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My sealed bid on a property in Cilfynydd has been accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Cilfynydd. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Cilfynydd conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Cilfynydd and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Cilfynydd conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cilfynydd. We have lived in Cilfynydd for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Cilfynydd is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Cilfynydd are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cilfynydd you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cilfynydd 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 premises.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Cilfynydd garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Cilfynydd conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Cilfynydd conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
