My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Kidwelly. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

I am helping my niece sell her house in Kidwelly. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was maintained a required element of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are using a Kidwelly conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Kidwelly accredited person

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Santander are being difficult. The Kidwelly solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have a terraced Victorian property in Kidwelly. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kidwelly and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Kidwelly I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhouse move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Kidwelly.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Kidwelly should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kidwelly

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Kidwelly conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Kidwelly both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Kidwelly is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. For most buyers and banks, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. 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 premises 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 Kidwelly 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 any new 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.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Kidwelly, conveyancing formalities finalised November 2004. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Kidwelly with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084

With just 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £22,800 and £26,400 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
