We note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Newport?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Newport.
We're in Newport, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Coventry BS , and our lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS 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.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Newport and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Newport. Having lived in Newport for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 sickness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Newport 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Newport. I am not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you will need to advise them of the new conveyancer and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders panel to avoid added costs and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors. Our search tool can help you find a bank approved conveyancer for your conveyancing in Newport
