Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list law firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Lampeter?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
We are downsizing from our house in Lampeter and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Lampeter lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lampeter. We have lived in Lampeter for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 illness)
How does conveyancing in Lampeter differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lampeter approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Lampeter tend to purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Lampeter or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Lampeter I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lampeter for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My financial adviser has recommended their solicitor for the conveyancing in Lampeter - Surely it’s easier to just instruct them?
You need to establish if the estate agent is recommending a conveyancing practitioner or introducing to a property lawyer. There are plenty of Lampeter estate agents who recommend two or three Lampeter conveyancing firms purely based on those lawyers offering a great service.
