I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Haverfordwest conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing solicitors. Haverfordwest law firms often have connections with lenders and selling, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having a wealth of experience in the local area also helps too.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Haverfordwest? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Haverfordwest conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Haverfordwest is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Haverfordwest are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Haverfordwest you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haverfordwest may ascertain 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 work for a reputable estate agent office in Haverfordwest where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Haverfordwest conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
