I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Caersws. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Caersws?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Caersws conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Caersws.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Caersws on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Skipton but by your Caersws solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we want to carry out renovations to our property in Caersws. Do we need to choose a nearby Caersws solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS panel.
I have recentlybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Caersws for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check 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 Caersws conveyancing specialists.

My plan is to purchase a ground floor flat in Caersws. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was informed that the owner needs to send the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why would my solicitor need to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the previous 3 weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Caersws to find Conveyancing in Caersws in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete block - which is clearly better. Do check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your solicitor is looking to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance cover.
