About to purchase a new build apartment in Kidwelly. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Kidwelly and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Kidwelly. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Kidwelly area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Kidwelly. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We expect to complete the disposal of our £200,000 maisonette in Kidwelly on Thursday in a week. The managing agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Kidwelly?

Kidwelly conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually involves fees being levied by management companies :

    Answering conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Kidwelly Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Kidwelly leasehold premises is £350. For Kidwelly conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply answers.

I own a ground floor flat in Kidwelly, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Kidwelly with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2089

With 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My step-son is just in the process of moving home, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we telephoned the mortgage company to progress the mortgage application. I was shocked to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this legal?

Banks tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Kidwelly conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
