A colleague suggested that if I am purchasing in Cilfynydd I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Cilfynydd conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Cilfynydd around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Cilfynydd Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Cilfynydd.
I used Arc property Solicitors a few years ago for my conveyancing in Cilfynydd. Now, I need my documents but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I'm buying my first flat in Cilfynydd with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Cilfynydd. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Cilfynydd - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
