Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Whitland you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Whitland concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

We expect to complete our sale of a £200,000 flat in Whitland next week. The managing agents has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Whitland?

Whitland conveyancing on leasehold apartments nine out of ten times necessitates fees being invoiced by freeholders :

Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Whitland leasehold property is £350. For Whitland conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.

I own a 2 bed flat in Whitland, conveyancing was carried out in 2004. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Whitland with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083

With 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as 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 detailed investigations. 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 you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
