At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Llanrwst and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Llanrwst you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Llanrwst)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Llanrwst prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not issue a loan on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Llanrwst. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Llanrwst to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Llanrwst conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Llanrwst conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Llanrwst conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:

Be sure to find out if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Llanrwst leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Llanrwst. If you like the propertyin Llanrwst yet your cat can’t live with you then you have a very difficult choice. It would be prudent to find out as much as possible concerning the company managing the building as they can either make living at the property much simpler or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Ask other tenants what they think of them. On a final note, find out the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes. On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Llanrwst obliged leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance.
