Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Fforestfach you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fforestfach)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Fforestfach I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fforestfach in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount 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 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My solicitor (based 200 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Fforestfach. Conveyancing practitioner has been instructed. The broker pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only constructed 22 years ago.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was built over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems get a full structural survey.
