Cardiff Bay Conveyancing



Why choose Cardiff Bay Conveyancing?

Cardiff Bay Conveyancing is a trading style of Ringley law, LLP, which is part of the Ringley group. The Ringley group manages over 1300 flats in the Cardiff Bay area and manage over 17,000 flats nationally.

We are familiar with the added mortgage complexities where an EWS1 and scope of works raise issues with lenders.

The Ringley Group continue to work with a number of stakeholders, including the Welsh Government and the Fire Service. The Group have champoioned Welsh Leaseholders, working with Michael Gove and RICS, which led to meetings with the International head of RICS Valuation Standards. This culminated in new policy implented by UK Finance and new RICS Valuation guidance for Wales issued in December 2023, advising Valuers to treat property valuations for properties on developments where a developer Self Remediation Contract (SRC) is signed as if all fire remedial works will be completed to an appropriate standard and an EWS1 has been issued.

"Cardiff Bay Conveyancing are specialist leasehold lawyers based in the heart of Cardiff Bay who will make the legal process of conveyancing flats faster… and cheaper. We are property specialists who understand the Bay and its complexities."


Building safety issues:

We understand building safety, EWS1 categories, Developer Self Remediation Contracts 'SRC's, PAS9980's, fire doors and compartmentation surveys. We positively support buildings along the remediation route rather than stop sales.

Managing Agents packs:

We don't just pass these on, instead we review them in detail as building safety is a long and complex journey. This prevents outdated packs from losing the sale.

Lender savvy:

We track which lenders are risk savvy verses those that are risk adverse. We will guide you to lenders who will lend on buildings on their safety remediation journey.



QUICKER

We act primarily for sellers, but also act for purchasers. We have a unique approach to sales conveyancing which will usually take 2-3 weeks off the time taken to get to legal completion of the sale. If you instruct us when you put your property on the market, we will utilise this time until a buyer is found to get your sale legal bundle sorted. This means we can send your contract bundle to the buyers conveyancing lawyer on the day you accept an offer, cutting weeks off the time taken to get to completion of the sale! We call this our ‘Sorted’ system.

CHEAPER

We have undertaken a great deal of market research and we know that we are several hundred pounds cheaper than most conveyancing firms. Virtually all conveyancing firms will have a scale of fees, starting with a headline fee, say, £650 plus VAT for conveyancing. There is then a shopping list of additional extras such as “leasehold supplement”, or “acting for lender”. Some even charge for answering enquiries. Often the list of “extras” can add up to several hundred pounds. We do not believe that this is fair for the client and we believe in transparency. We have a fixed fee in routine flat conveyancing which is £995 plus VAT. This is our total fee payable to us. As with all conveyancing matters, there will be fees payable to 3rd parties such as freeholders etc

EXPERT

We are based in the heart of Cardiff Bay. We have an intimate knowledge of your lease and the running of your site so we are very well placed to answer your buyer’s lawyers questions fully and quickly, thus making completion happen quicker.

Cardiff Bay Reviews

"The Ringley Group helped us achieve right to manage on a large and complex residential estate in south west London. Guiding us through the legal process, the acquisition and site set up. Following a tricky relationship with the freeholder's managing agent which lead us to go through the RTM process and appoint Ringley, they has been a breath of fresh air. The staff are clearly very passionate about what they do, extremely knowledgeable and the changes we have been able to put in place at the site in the couple of months since RTM took place, in collaboration with the RTM directors, have quickly improved the quality of the service, the look of the site, with savings already made in-year. We look forward to working with the team as we make further improvements and savings here at Wimbledon Stadia - expanding our on-site staff to create a real strong team spirit, as we collaborate with local businesses, suppliers and charities. The RTM process means leaseholders are in control, and can work with Ringley to build a decedent budget, with full transparency."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sam at VirginLand on a small land sale in Hampshire. From the outset, Sam expertly managed the relationship between us and the developer who purchased the land. What could have been a stressful process was made seamless thanks to clear communication, attention to detail, and commitment to both parties' interests. VirginLand ensured that all our concerns were addressed and kept the developer informed every step of the way. If you're selling land and want someone who truly understands the importance of building strong relationships, I recommend VirginLand."
