I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a local Wenvoe conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Wenvoe conveyancers often have long term relationships with lenders and selling, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting a sound knowledge of the local area is also a plus .
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Wenvoe?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Wenvoe and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wenvoe should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Wenvoe concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Wenvoe. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I own a studio flat in Wenvoe, conveyancing was carried out July 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Wenvoe with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2087
With 61 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence.

There may be additional concerns 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 placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
