I selected a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and select a web based firm advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen?
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 cover those cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such promotions rarely cover outlay such as Garndolbenmaen conveyancing search costs.
All was ready to complete my purchase in Garndolbenmaen next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?

I am helping my niece sell her house in Garndolbenmaen. Will the solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a mandatory element of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise. If you are instructing a Garndolbenmaen conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Garndolbenmaen assessors
We are buying a end of terrace house in Garndolbenmaen. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Garndolbenmaen bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Garndolbenmaen conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
