We hired a Llantrisant based lawyer for my conveyancing in Llantrisant today. Reviewing the small print it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing company advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Llantrisant?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not protect you from outlay for example Llantrisant conveyancing search expenses.
What is the best way to investigate if the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Llantrisant is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for HSBC Bank thus paying £187.00 plus VAT in further legal fees.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Llantrisant 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Llantrisant I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llantrisant in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Llantrisant and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the dueness to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? Generally speaking the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Llantrisant obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. It is important to be aware if a new roof is being installed or some other major work is due shortly to be shared between the leaseholders and will dramatically increase the the maintenance charges or require a one time invoice.
