The owners of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing firm in Glyn Ceiriog who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such arrangements appropriate for Glyn Ceiriog conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Glyn Ceiriog, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they receive a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally shameful the behaviour is.
I purchased my house on 6 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Glyn Ceiriog said it would be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Glyn Ceiriog uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Glyn Ceiriog both have in the region of 50 years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Glyn Ceiriog is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Glyn Ceiriog conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
