I opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Llay yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seewe are on the hook for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use an internet lawyer advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Llay?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset the conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that such deals rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Llay conveyancing search expenses.
We are buying a flat in Llay. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Llay. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Llay conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable local providers
I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Llay lawyer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Should I go with a Llay conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the conveyancing but they are based 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Llay conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Llay know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Llay conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Llay. Conveyancing advisers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Llay are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Llay in which case you should be shopping around for a Llay conveyancing practitioner and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’spermission to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer will appraise you on the various issues.
