When it comes to mortgage companies such as UBS, do Llanelli property lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We had instructed solicitors based in Llanelli on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Llanelli conveyancer. Some firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Llanelli and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with UBS.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Llanelli 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £250,000 maisonette in Llanelli in just under a week. The landlords agents has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Llanelli?
Llanelli conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not requires the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.

Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
We have been advised by numerous family members that it can take six to eight weeks for Llanelli conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only sent from the vendors conveyancing practitioner yesterday so now does it countdown?
Do not bank on completing on a certain date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever promises the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your solicitor provides don't bank on them. More stress is caused to clients trying to move home by unfulfilled promises than any other issue when it comes to conveyancing in Llanelli.
