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

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Narberth
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Narberth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 advance.
Can I be sure that the Narberth conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Narberth obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I am expecting a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Narberth solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Narberth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Narberth for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Narberth conveyancing specialists.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Narberth. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Narberth who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Narberth conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
