What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Magor conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Magor conveyancing practice) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you make enquires with several firms including non Magor conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:
-
If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Magor in the last twenty four months?

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Magor , but I still want to go ahead. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Many vendors will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
