Me and my partner are buying a flat in Pembrokeshire. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Pembrokeshire. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Pembrokeshire has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Lloyds or your broker and finalise any relevant documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Pembrokeshire.
Just bought a detached house in Pembrokeshire , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Pembrokeshire conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Pembrokeshire registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying a new build house in Pembrokeshire with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my loan with Nationwide Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My father-in-law has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Pembrokeshire. Do I take his recommendation?

Due to complete next month on a studio apartment in Pembrokeshire. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they report fully on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Pembrokeshire should include some of the following:
-
Details of the parties to the lease, for instance these could be the lessee, superior lessor, freeholder Additions to the property Rent payments - what is payable and when is collected, and also know whether this is subject to change You should be informed what is to be regarded as a Nuisance as far as the lease is concerned Do you need to have carpet in the flat or are you allowed wood flooring?
I own a garden flat in Pembrokeshire, conveyancing having been completed June 2007. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Pembrokeshire with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2079
With 53 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
