Can you recommend a Aldermore approved Cardiff conveyancing lawyer who can have us moved in within 28 days? Would it be better to use a high street Cardiff firm or a web based conveyancer?
We can recommend some very good Cardiff conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Cardiff. Go in to some well established firms and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Mention your deadline together with the reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Choose the lawyer that appears most efficient.
We are selling our property in Cardiff and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Cardiff lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cardiff. We have lived in Cardiff for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Cardiff for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered 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 Cardiff conveyancing specialists.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cardiff in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Cardiff. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Cardiff and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to business lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Cardiff is one of our hundreds of locations in which our lawyers are based
I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Cardiff and the estate agent that we are dealing with suggested his solicitor. She quoted a thousand pounds plus VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound expensive?
