I was referred a solicitor who has given a fee estimate £1150 for freehold conveyancing in Harlech. I am looking to sell a newly refurbished property for £225,000. Is this expensive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Harlech?
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you are prepared to invest time contrasting charges you might shave off some of the cost by say £125.

My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Harlech and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Harlech. We have lived in Harlech for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Harlech I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Harlech in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. It is important to be aware whether changing the roof or some other major work is anticipated to be shared by the tenants and will dramatically increase the the service costs or result in a one time payment.
