How does conveyancing in Tywyn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tywyn come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Tywyn typically purchase 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 Tywyn or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Tywyn I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tywyn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Tywyn conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Tywyn. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as usual as all rents and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
