In the event thatI was to acquire a freehold homein Treorchy mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Treorchy?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the costs for searches. The property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Treorchy and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Treorchy. Having lived in Treorchy for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 sickness)

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Treorchy from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Treorchy can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming process and delays many a Treorchy conveyancing deal. Where a reissued share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is under 80 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Treorchy state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. If you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
