We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Broad Haven based conveyancing firm?

Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Broad Haven.
I purchased my apartment on 3 November and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Broad Haven expressed confidence that it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Broad Haven uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Broad Haven registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Broad Haven is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

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 started marketing my garden apartment in Broad Haven. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as normal because all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
