I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Lampeter. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Lampeter?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Lampeter conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Lampeter.
Completed the sale of my flat in Lampeter last September but our buyer keeps whats apping me to moan that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

If applicable, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Lampeter where we see a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Lampeter conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
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. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 purchaser.
