I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer or a local Radyr conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party relationships is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing lawyers.

Possessing a wealth of experience in the local area is an advantage.
I am approaching an exchange on a house in Radyr and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important number one tip you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Radyr?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Radyr or throughout Cardiff is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Radyr is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Should my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Radyr.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Radyr. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Radyr, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Radyr. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s solicitors should also order an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
