I went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Ponthir recently. Going through the fine print I seewe are on the hook for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Ponthir?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those conveyances that abort. Please beware that these offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Ponthir conveyancing search costs.

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a required element of selling a property.

Intending to buy a apartment in Ponthir. 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 TSB 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 Ponthir conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ponthir is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ponthir from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ponthir can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. Some Ponthir leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unresolved. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Ponthir conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible.
I bought a garden flat in Ponthir, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Ponthir with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2086
With only 61 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £19,000 and £22,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
