I went with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Clynderwen last week. After carefully reading the small print I seewe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use an on-line conveyancing company offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Clynderwen?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset the conveyances that fail to complete. Dont forget that such arrangements rarely protect you from disbursements by way of example Clynderwen conveyancing search charges.

We are planning on selling our house in Clynderwen and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clynderwen. Having lived in Clynderwen for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying a new build house in Clynderwen benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with Aldermore. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Clynderwen prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not issue a loan on such a property.

I only have 68 years left on my flat in Clynderwen. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent may be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Clynderwen.
