My bid for a property was accepted at auction in St Davids. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you must appoint a conveyancing solicitor soon as you will have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will have an associated legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We are due to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in St Davids. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only be done when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in St Davids or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in St Davids.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in St Davids. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in St Davids took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in St Davids and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in St Davids, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in St Davids with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
With just 56 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
