I was recommended to a lawyer who has given a fee estimate £1200 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Llandeilo. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built house for £125,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Llandeilo?

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Llandeilo is more expensive?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Llandeilo. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Llandeilo.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llandeilo solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Last November I purchased a leasehold house in Llandeilo. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
