It has come to my attention via my broker that my Broad Haven property lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
Your first step should be to call your Broad Haven lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Broad Haven. We have hit a problem. The mortgage offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society expires on 18/5/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 20/5/2026. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your question is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s solicitors, estate agents or conceivably all three taking into account the history of your conveyancing to date.
We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Broad Haven who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Broad Haven. Conveyancing is daunting 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Broad Haven
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Broad Haven is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Broad Haven are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Broad Haven you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Broad Haven may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Broad Haven. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Who are the managing agents? You should be aware if it is less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your bank that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Broad Havenlease extensions you will need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
