I decided to go with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Long Ashton last week. Going through the official terms of business I seeI am responsible for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing company who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Long Ashton?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that such deals tend not to protect you from expenditure for instance Long Ashton conveyancing search charges.
My grandson is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Long Ashton with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Two months into purchasing a residence in Long Ashton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on the marketability of the house?
Long Ashton conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
