My family solicitor has sent a quote for £1350 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Cardigan. I am selling a Edwardian house for £300,000. This appears overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Cardigan?

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Cardigan. Almost all the appartments have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Cardigan?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Cardigan conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in the strongest possible terms that your solicitor conducts them. If timings and cost are primary issues you should discuss with your solicitor about the possibility of search insurance

How does conveyancing in Cardigan differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cardigan approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Cardigan typically acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cardigan or who has acted in the same development.
