We decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Neath Abbey yesterday. Reviewing the Terms it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to use an internet conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in Neath Abbey?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these schemes rarely protect you from expenditure by way of example Neath Abbey conveyancing search costs.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Neath Abbey. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are using a Neath Abbey conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established Neath Abbey energy assessors
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Neath Abbey. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
About to purchase apartment in Neath Abbey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Neath Abbey solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Neath Abbey completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Neath Abbey I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Neath Abbey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My father has encouraged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Neath Abbey. Should I choose my own solicitor?
No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have experience in using the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
