We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Blackwood found using your search tool but have come across alternative costs illustrations on the internet look cheaper – why is this?
There are lots of conveyancing outfits offering what appear to be extremely cheap conveyancing in Blackwood.

All was ready to move into my new home in Blackwood next Thursday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Blackwood.
My conveyancer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Blackwood?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We were going to get a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Blackwood solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Blackwood solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Blackwood. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Blackwood prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Blackwood. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Blackwood especially if they are familiar with such properties in Blackwood.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Blackwood from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Blackwood can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Blackwood levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Blackwood. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.
I bought a garden flat in Blackwood, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Blackwood with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2105
With 80 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
