Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Pembrokeshire is more expensive?
The conveyancing charges on a leasehold property in Pembrokeshire is often more expensive than on a freehold transaction. This is due to the supplemental investigations necessary in dealing with the freeholder and management company to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Pembrokeshire house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Pembrokeshire.
I have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Pembrokeshire for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

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 straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Pembrokeshire is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Pembrokeshire are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pembrokeshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Pembrokeshire may determine 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.

I'm purchasing a property in Pembrokeshire. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
