Why would I appoint a St Clears conveyancing firm when internet based alternatives are easier on the wallet?
By all means make sure that you get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in St Clears and you should seek an affordable fee calculation but don’t be focused with scouring the internet for the lowest priced St Clears conveyancer.

He or She will keep you updated as to progress and keep you informed. If you ever need to phone the office you will be sure who to ask for and they will endeavour to make sure that you are kept fully informed.

I have a terraced Victorian house in St Clears. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in St Clears and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in St Clears differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in St Clears approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in St Clears tend to acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in St Clears or who has acted in the same development.
We have just had an offer accepted on our first home in St Clears, and need to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the different rating based websites and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a St Clears lawyer local to the potential new home? I am fine to do all the communicating electronically, but I assume at some stage we will need to visit the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign documents?
There is no need to attend the office of your conveyancer, they can post any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers nevertheless opt to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in St Clears.
