Some works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rhayader solicitor - who is on the conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Will our lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Rhayader.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Rhayader. Some people will acquire a house in Rhayader, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Rhayader. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rhayader registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Rhayader I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rhayader suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
