Completed the sale of my flat in Rowen last July yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Rowen conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local assessors

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Rowen it reveals many solicitorsin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancer for my move?

Last July I purchased a leasehold property in Rowen. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the tenants have being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is frequently retained if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Please note if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for a couple of years in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension. What is the length of the lease?
