My partner and I are acquiring our first house. The conveyancer has calledto check if we want to take out additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's appropriate for conveyancing in Tintern
The number and type of Tintern conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Where you are unclear, ask your conveyancing practitioner to explain.
It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Tintern. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Tintern involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Tintern I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tintern in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Tintern. We are not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would have to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the replacement lawyer and ensure the loan are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating expenses and complications. So that should be your starting point.

22 days into a sale of a flat in Tintern. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the managing agents. To date we have paid £250 for a leasehold management information and then another £117.20 for responses to queries supplied by the buyers conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your conveyancer will have any sway over the level of the charges for this information however the typical costs for the information for Tintern leasehold property is £360. When it comes to Tintern conveyancing transactions it is customary for the vendor to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to address such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any prescriptive time limit by which they are required to issue answers.
