I selected a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth recently. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for costs even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset those conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that these offerings rarely cover outlay such as Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancing search fees.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of delay in Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I own a leasehold flat in Penrhyndeudraeth. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold.

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

We own a leasehold flat in Penrhyndeudraeth. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too low. What is the reasoning?
Penrhyndeudraeth leasehold properties are for a prescribed period - usually just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Penrhyndeudraeth were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
