Do conveyancers request an advanced payment for conveyancing in Morganstown?
If you are buying a property in Morganstown your solicitor will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be required immediately before exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the completion date.
The Morganstown conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Morganstown have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my previous Morganstown lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to help.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Morganstown I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Morganstown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Morganstown. My solicitor (based 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Morganstown who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Morganstown based
Why do Morganstown conveyancing fees are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
There is always increased work necessary in leasehold conveyancing. Morganstown has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
