It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Machen. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Machen relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Machen for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our mortgage lenders Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A bank will direct that a panel conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to meet the cost of this. Do use our database to locate a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Machen on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Machen prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on this type of house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Machen. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Machen to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Machen and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Machen. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Machen area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Machen. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Machen. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I acquired a leasehold flat in Machen, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Machen with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2080
With 54 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
