My friend's brother is a conveyancer. I hope that I will receive friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Wenvoe?
It’s advisable to look for two or three conveyancing quotes. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The prices will contrast greatly but service levels do differ between solicitors as is true with most professions.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Wenvoe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wenvoe. Having lived in Wenvoe for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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)
I am buying my first flat in Wenvoe benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would impact my loan with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wenvoe in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

What are the distinct benefits to instructing a local property lawyer in Wenvoe
Many buyers and sellers in Wenvoe choose a local conveyancer so that they can attend the firm’s offices just in case they have problems, and to sign documents without using the post.
There is a slight advantage when opting for a solicitor local to the property you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the region and possible local issues - nevertheless this is debatable.
