My IFA requires my Solva solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Solva branch but they have not got back to me yet.
You are best placed to get this information from your Solva solicitor . Most Solva conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Solva took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Solva differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Solva approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Solva typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Solva or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Solva I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Solva for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £300,000 flat in Solva next Wednesday.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Solva?
Solva conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so. They may levy a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.
