At long last a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom garden flat is expected any day now. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing solicitor in St Fagans?
You have come to the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in St Fagans. Our intention is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by organisations offering £99 conveyancing in St Fagans. The optimum result, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in additional fees and still not end up with the service required.
When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in St Fagans and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in St Fagans you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Fagans)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We expect to receive a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any St Fagans solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint St Fagans solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
I had an offer accepted on a house in St Fagans on 7/1/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in St Fagans agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in St Fagans. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, St Fagans conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in St Fagans 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 property 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.

What makes a St Fagans lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in St Fagans. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Insurance obligations
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, Virgin Money, and Clydesdale all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
