Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Llanybydder who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Halifax. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate fees appear a bit high. If you you were to look around you may be able to shave off some of the expense by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you couldlive to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. If is important to enquire the solicitor can also act for Halifax.

Will our lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Llanybydder.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Llanybydder. There are those who buy a house in Llanybydder, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Llanybydder. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Llanybydder completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Llanybydder differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Llanybydder come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Llanybydder typically acquire 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Llanybydder or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llanybydder is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanybydder are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanybydder you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanybydder 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 residence.
