There is lots of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Solva but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Solva
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Solva conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay 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.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Solva. Does the solicitor order an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory element of moving property. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Solva conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Solva energy assessors

I bought a house in Solva last 11/9/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my property lawyer told me that it may take one year to register. I have called HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
It is your property lawyer that you must contact in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Solva property. Normal Solva conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's conveyancer that they will help resolve any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
