I chose a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Llwyngwril last week. Upon checking the official terms of business I seewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use an internet lawyer who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Llwyngwril?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these arrangements tend not to cover expenses e.g. Llwyngwril conveyancing search costs.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Llwyngwril? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Llwyngwril conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to check not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
A colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Llwyngwril I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is sometimes included in the estimate for your Llwyngwril conveyancing searches.

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Llwyngwril.
I was advised by three or four local selling agents in Llwyngwril to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Llwyngwril. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Llwyngwril who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Llwyngwril conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I bought a 1st floor flat in Llwyngwril, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Llwyngwril with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
You have 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
