My partner and I are intent on selling our property in Swansea City and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Swansea City lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Swansea City. We have lived in Swansea City for 5 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 firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Swansea City is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Swansea City are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Swansea City you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Swansea City may determine 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 premises.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Swansea City what are the most frequent lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Swansea City. Most leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property Insurance obligations
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Coventry Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.

My boyfriend is buying a shared ownership flat in Swansea City. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner recommended by the selling agents and it came to £1250 . It was ten years ago since I sold and purchased a property and it cost was £600. Have fees really escalated to that extent?
