We hired a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and use a web based solicitor practice advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such deals tend not to protect you from outlay for instance Neath Port Talbot conveyancing search expenses.
Are you able to suggest a Clydesdale sanctioned Neath Port Talbot conveyancing conveyancer who can have us moved in within a very limited time frame? Would it be better to use a high street Neath Port Talbot firm or a web based conveyancer?

I purchased a freehold residence in Neath Port Talbot but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Neath Port Talbot and has limited impact for conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Neath Port Talbot. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Neath Port Talbot?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Neath Port Talbot. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Neath Port Talbot. Do we need to appoint a local Neath Port Talbot solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Leeds Building Society don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Neath Port Talbot solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian property in Neath Port Talbot. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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 Neath Port Talbot 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
