A colleague informed me that in buying a property in Garndolbenmaen there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Garndolbenmaen which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen 4 years ago have long since closed.Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
Am I best advised to appoint a Garndolbenmaen conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work however her office is 300miles away.
The benefit of a high street Garndolbenmaen conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Garndolbenmaen know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were content that should trump using an unknown Garndolbenmaen conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
