My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Miskin and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Miskin lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Miskin. Having lived in Miskin for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Miskin 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I am buying a new build apartment in Miskin. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Miskin

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Miskin I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Miskin suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a residence in Newport but I am based in Miskin. My solicitor (based 250 kilometers from merequires that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Miskin who can witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Miskin
