I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Pantymwyn - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

    • Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Pantymwyn conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

    If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Pantymwyn conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggested that you speak with two or three firms including non Pantymwyn conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. Some following of questions could be useful:

    • What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Pantymwyn in the last year?
  • Can they put you in touch with client in Pantymwyn who can give a testimonial?

    • Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn with the intention of expediting the sale process?

    • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers lawyers.
    • Many freeholders or managing agents in Pantymwyn charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn.
  • If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Pantymwyn leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first.
  • A minority of Pantymwyn leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
  • If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Pantymwyn home move. If a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later.

    • When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn what are the most common lease defects?

    Leasehold conveyancing in Pantymwyn is not unique. All leases is drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    • Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property
    • Insurance obligations
    • Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
    • Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

    A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Barnsley Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
