I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Talsarnau by 26/5/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your letting until you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, update to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Talsarnau and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Talsarnau. Having lived in Talsarnau for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Talsarnau. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Nottingham Building Society to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Talsarnau and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Talsarnau differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Talsarnau approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Talsarnau tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Talsarnau or who has acted in the same development.
