We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Porthcawl. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society runs out on 29/12/2025 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 31/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your question is your lawyer who will determine whether they should be discussing with the bank, owner’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all three taking into account the history of your transaction to date.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Porthcawl and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Porthcawl. Having lived in Porthcawl for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Porthcawl. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Porthcawl
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Porthcawl I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Porthcawl in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Me and my wife are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Porthcawl, and are about to get solicitors appointed. I have used the different rating based websites and the quotes are from all across the England and Wales. Is it essential to have a Porthcawl solicitor local to your prospective property? We are fine to do all the communicating over email, but I assume at some point we will need to physically go into the property lawyer's office to sign contracts?
The conveyancer does not need to be in Porthcawl, but choosing local means that you can attend their offices if you need to, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Porthcawl solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local lawyer) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
