What can a local search tell me regarding the house I am buying in Creigiau?
Creigiau conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for example Xpress Legal The local search plays a central part in most Creigiau conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Creigiau is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Creigiau are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Creigiau you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Creigiau may decide 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 residence.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Creigiau with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Creigiau can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Creigiau state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance. A minority of Creigiau leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is ongoing. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and slows down many a Creigiau home move. If a new share is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later.
