First-time buyer conveyancing in Cardiff
A first purchase is the one with no chain behind it and no experience in it. The legal work is the same as anyone else's; what differs is that nobody has walked you through it before. Cardiff's first-time buyers, normally on smaller flats pay less when they let local partners compete on the same brief.

Cardiff pro tip
Wales charges Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty — different bands and no first-time buyer relief. Your conveyancer files the LTT return.

What to know about first-time buyer conveyancing
Stamp duty relief exists, and only in some of the UK
England and Northern Ireland give first-time buyers relief up to a threshold, with nothing above a cap. Scotland has its own tax, LBTT, with its own first-time buyer relief; Wales has LTT and no first-time buyer relief at all.
Ask for a fixed fee and the disbursements separately
The solicitor's fee is one thing; searches, Land Registry fees and the stamp duty return are another. A quote that blends them is hard to compare against a quote that does not.
Leasehold adds weeks, not days
Most first flats are leasehold, and the management pack has to come from the freeholder or managing agent at their own speed. Budget for it in your timeline and in the fee.
