If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Pencoed conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Pencoed conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better.
