We decided to go with a Bassaleg based firm for our conveyancing in Bassaleg recently. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Bassaleg?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such arrangements rarely protect you from expenditure by way of example Bassaleg conveyancing search expenses.

Is it the case that all Bassaleg conveyancing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Bassaleg. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Bassaleg building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Bassaleg conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am buying my first flat in Bassaleg with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will put at risk my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but I am based in Bassaleg. My solicitor (approximately 250 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Bassaleg who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bassaleg. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-

You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Barnsley Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease.
