I decided to go with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or use a web based firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that such arrangements generally do not protect you from outlay for example Neath Port Talbot conveyancing search expenses.
We're in Neath Port Talbot, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are planning on selling our house in Neath Port Talbot and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Neath Port Talbot lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Neath Port Talbot. Having lived in Neath Port Talbot for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Please note that where the lease has less than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for a couple of years before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Neath Port Talbot require leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.
