As a first time buyer what is the most important advice you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Llanfyrnach?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Llanfyrnach or throughout Pembrokeshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanfyrnach should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a definite creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your solicitor ahead of all other players in the conveyancing process.
How does conveyancing in Llanfyrnach differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llanfyrnach contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Llanfyrnach usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llanfyrnach or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Llanfyrnach from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Llanfyrnach can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. A minority of Llanfyrnach leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Llanfyrnach conveyancing deal. If a new share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
