I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Haverfordwest. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Haverfordwest. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Haverfordwest conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement .

On occasion properties with apparent issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Haverfordwest should be able to give you some sensible guidance concerning this.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Haverfordwest and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Haverfordwest. Having lived in Haverfordwest for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Haverfordwest is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Haverfordwest are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Haverfordwest you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haverfordwest may ascertain 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 premises.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Haverfordwest
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Haverfordwest conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
