I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Bedwas. Almost all the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Bedwas?
You would be taking a significant risk in refusing to carrying out Bedwas conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would absolutely advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where time pressures and cost are primary issues you should consider with your lawyer about the viability of search insurance
I am planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedwas who is on the Alliance & Leicester solicitor. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Bedwas what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Bedwas conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Can you point me to a directory of Nottingham panel solicitors in Bedwas on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Is it the case that all Bedwas solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Bedwas for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bedwas conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bedwas is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bedwas are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedwas you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedwas may determine 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.
Am I best advised to choose a Bedwas conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing but his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Bedwas conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Bedwas know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Bedwas conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Bedwas based.
