My Solva solicitor has spotted a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Solva what is your top tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Solva
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Solva and elsewhere in Pembrokeshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Solva is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties in the home moving process.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Solva. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?

I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Solva for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Solva conveyancing specialists.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Solva. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Solva
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a residence in Swansea but live in Solva. My lawyer (who is 300 miles awayrequires that I execute a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Solva who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Solva based
