Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Manselton

As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Manselton?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Manselton and elsewhere in Swansea is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion the bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Manselton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer ahead of all other players in the home moving process.

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Manselton but how do I know who's good?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Manselton conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

When it comes to lenders such as HSBC, do Manselton property lawyers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Manselton. Are we obliged to choose a local Manselton solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Yorkshire BS don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS panel.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Manselton?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Manselton will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Manselton. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Manselton.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Manselton it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be doing your conveyancing in Manselton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a matter number.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £425,000 maisonette in Manselton in just under a week. The management company has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Manselton?

Manselton conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not involves the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions the majority will be willing to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
