I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Skewen for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Skewen conveyancing specialists.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Skewen I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Skewen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

In sourcing the internet for the term cheap conveyancing in Skewen it shows results of many property lawyersin the area. How do I determine which is the right conveyancer for my move?

Charges for conveyancing in Skewen vary, so it's advisable to obtain at least four quotes from varying types of companies. Make sure that you clarify what costs in the quote includes.
