Would the conveyancing lawyers identified via your search tool handle auction conveyancing in St Davids?
There are a number of niche solicitors we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. St Davids is one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers have offices.
My wife and I are planning on selling our home in St Davids and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street St Davids lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in St Davids. Having lived in St Davids for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in St Davids concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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.
I'm buying my first flat in St Davids with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Do I need to be suspicious by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local St Davids conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most banks have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
I am hoping to complete next month on a basement flat in St Davids. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they report fully next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I invested in buying a split level flat in St Davids, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in St Davids with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
With 56 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
