At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Felinheli and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Felinheli you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

Will our lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Felinheli.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Felinheli. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Felinheli, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Felinheli. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Felinheli with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Felinheli is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Felinheli 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 Felinheli you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Felinheli 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.
I own a leasehold flat in Felinheli. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?
Felinheli leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant appartments in Felinheli were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
