Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in St Davids?
If you are buying a property in St Davids your lawyer will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be asked for immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the completion date.
We're in St Davids, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in St Davids I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Davids suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign 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 regarding this.
