My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in Monmouth but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

The lawyer that is on a Virgin Money approved list is required to disclose to Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Monmouth.

How does conveyancing in Monmouth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Monmouth contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Monmouth usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Monmouth or who has acted in the same development.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Monmouth and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to business tenants, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Monmouth is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which the firms we work with are based

We are one month into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Monmouth. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A solicitor would have to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors. Our search tool should assist you in finding a bank approved conveyancer for your conveyancing in Monmouth

My intention is to purchase a ground floor apartment in Monmouth. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance documents. This afternoon I was informed that the seller needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it really required? We have been waiting for the previous fortnight…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Monmouth to discover Conveyancing in Monmouth in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole premises - which is definitely preferable. You should clarify with your solicitor but it would seem that your property lawyer is seeking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance cover.
