Our Henllys conveyancer has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
As a first time buyer what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Henllys?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Henllys or throughout Torfaen is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Henllys is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
How does conveyancing in Henllys differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Henllys contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Henllys typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Henllys or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Henllys I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Henllys for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Henllys?
Conveyancing - in Henllys or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
