As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Llanelli what’s your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Llanelli

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Llanelli or throughout Ammanford is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Llanelli should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

The two can administer the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both duty bound to perform Llanelli conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally carried out and that the requirements and steps will be correctly taken.

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Llanelli. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

How does conveyancing in Llanelli differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Llanelli come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Llanelli typically acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Llanelli or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Llanelli. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation 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. A critical element 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 bought a basement flat in Llanelli, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Llanelli with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2077

You have 52 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been told by many family members that it can take 6-8 weeks for Llanelli conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The property information was only sent to my property lawyer yesterday so now does it countdown?

You need to be realistic about timelines. Conveyancing in Llanelli usually takes about ten weeks. This time period is not because lawyer are slow and deliberately delay matters. The amount of money involved in buying any residence is so high, the purchaser's solicitor having to carry out a whole range of enquiries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the buyer and their lender (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. These checks involves getting information from various third parties, for example other conveyancing practitioner, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Many of these are well organised. Others aren't. It is worth noting that, no matter how quickly your solicitor do their work, if the people you are buying from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
