Conveyancing Solicitors in Swansea achieve fast completion of house sale

In 2010 Conveyancing Solicitor Catherine Williams was asked to handle the sale of a freehold detached house at West Cross, Swansea, SA3. The Conveyancing Solicitors in Swansea acting for the buyers were Beor Wilson Lloyd of Calvert House, Calvert Terrace, Swansea, SA1 6AP.

The property was being sold by Mr and Mrs E and they had asked for the transaction to be completed as soon as could be arranged. Although the other Property Lawyers claim to be one of the oldest law firms in Wales, they were certainly not old-fashioned in the way that they dealt with matters.

One thing that enables Conveyancing Solicitor in Swansea to move fast is that it is now easily possible to obtain details of an owner's property title from the land registry. The land registry's Wales office is located at Ty Cwm Tawe, Phoenix Way, Llansamlet, Swansea,  Documents can normally be downloaded direct from their e-portal and Catherine had already got a copy of those that she needed to send to the buyers' Conveyancers.

Once Catherine had received the sales details from agents Dawsons of 11 Walter Road, Swansea, SA1 5NF she sent the draft contract off together with the information forms completed by the vendors.

Conveyancing searches reveal planning approvals

These were the planning consents for the construction of the building.
