My partner and I have recently bought a house in Kilgetty. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Kilgetty?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Kilgetty. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a document known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Kilgetty.
We just had an offer accepted to buy with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I dropped in a couple of high street firms yet am unable to find a Kilgetty conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel. Please you help?

How does conveyancing in Kilgetty differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kilgetty approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Kilgetty usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kilgetty or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kilgetty is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kilgetty are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kilgetty you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kilgetty may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My conveyancer in Kilgetty has requested from me personal identification documents saying that this is part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the lender Solicitor panel. Am I being spun a yarn?

The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the bank's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
