I am purchasing a maisonette in Broad Haven. My property lawyer is not on the bank conveyancing list. Can I still continue with my Broad Haven conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel?
One will need to instruct a solicitor to complete the legal work required when you require a loan to purchase your home. The solicitor will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You could instruct a Broad Haven solicitor of your choice. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the bank approved list further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My partner and I have lately acquired a property in Broad Haven. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Broad Haven?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Broad Haven. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Broad Haven.
I am buying a garden flat in Broad Haven. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Broad Haven you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Broad Haven , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Broad Haven conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Broad Haven registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Broad Haven with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Broad Haven and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
