I decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Abercarn last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or choose a web based lawyer promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Abercarn?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such deals generally do not cover disbursements e.g. Abercarn conveyancing search costs.
Can you vouch for a Barclays Direct sanctioned Abercarn conveyancing conveyancer finish our home move within two weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Abercarn practice or a web based firm?

I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Abercarn. My lender is Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 30/9/2025, the requirements read as follows :
Me and my brother own a terraced Georgian property in Abercarn. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read 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 Abercarn and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I'm refinancing my primary property to a BTL mortgage with Bank of Scotland and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are interested in is Abercarn. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the transactions?
Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are the lawyer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
I bought a property in Abercarn last 31/7/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my property lawyer told me that it may take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?
