I am selling our property in Rhayader and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Rhayader lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rhayader. We have lived in Rhayader for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to 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)

How does conveyancing in Rhayader differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Rhayader contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Rhayader typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Rhayader or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rhayader is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Rhayader are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rhayader you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rhayader may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I've found a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Rhayader. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Rhayader are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Rhayader so you should seriously consider looking for a Rhayader conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer will report to you on the legal implications.

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Rhayader, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding properties in Rhayader with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079

With just 54 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. 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 clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
