Our family solicitor has given a fee calculation of £1700 for fixed fee conveyancing in Llanallgo. I’m hoping to downsize from a Edwardian house for £275,000. This seems over the top. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Llanallgo?

The charges are a tad high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure that the conveyancer can act for your bank.

I am selling our home in Llanallgo and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Llanallgo. Having lived in Llanallgo for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 ailment)

Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian property in Llanallgo. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanallgo and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Llanallgo I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanallgo in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I note that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the bank conveyancing panel. Do Llanallgo conveyancing firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for my conveyancing?
