The solicitor who dealt with my previous purchase has quoted £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Penyffordd. I am looking to sell a Edwardian detached home for £125,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Penyffordd?
The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. If you shop around you could trim some of the cost by perhaps £125. That being said, you couldcome to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. If is important to ensure that the solicitor can represent your lender.

We are downsizing from our property in Penyffordd and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Penyffordd lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Penyffordd. We have lived in Penyffordd for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of 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 illness)
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Penyffordd. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Penyffordd and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I am buying a new build flat in Penyffordd. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Penyffordd
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Penyffordd conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
