Are there common defects that you encounter in leases for Llanharan properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Llanharan. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building
You will have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Aldermore all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
Llanharan Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask before buying

For most Llanharan leaseholds the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Llanharan ask tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is frequently retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.
Am in the process of purchasing my first home in Llanharan. Conveyancing lawyer has been instructed. The broker advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built twenty two years ago.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation if relevant. If there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive structural survey.
