Should conveyancers request money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Lampeter?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Lampeter your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the purchase price then this should be needed immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.
I am aiming to move home in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Lampeter. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Lampeter or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Lampeter.

We were going to get a DIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Lampeter solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Lampeter solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Lampeter took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Lampeter I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lampeter for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
