Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Pontypool is more expensive?
Pontypool leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

We are downsizing from our house in Pontypool and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Pontypool lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pontypool. We have lived in Pontypool for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)

I'm buying a new build house in Pontypool benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
