I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my rented property in Pembrokeshire by 24/6/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your lawyer and request that they chase the owners side, try to a target completion date that all parties will look to achieve
I am considering applying for a Santander mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Pembrokeshire with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Santander ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Santander conveyancing panel, but Santander would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Pembrokeshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pembrokeshire. Having lived in Pembrokeshire for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
About to purchase a new build apartment in Pembrokeshire. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pembrokeshire
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

My husband and I are buying a four room apartmentin Pembrokeshire with a residential mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Pembrokeshire however our bank inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our bank panel firms or keep our Pembrokeshire solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Pembrokeshire : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
