I instructed a Tonypandy based lawyer for our conveyancing in Tonypandy yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Tonypandy?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that these deals generally do not protect you from disbursements e.g. Tonypandy conveyancing search charges.
A colleague suggested that if I am buying in Tonypandy I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Tonypandy conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing significant information about Tonypandy around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Tonypandy Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Tonypandy.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Tonypandy 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
How does conveyancing in Tonypandy differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tonypandy approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Tonypandy typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tonypandy or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tonypandy is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Tonypandy are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tonypandy you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tonypandy may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Tonypandy. We are not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added expenses and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
