On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your neck of the woods will benefit from excellent alliances with your local authority, which can help with the Aberporth conveyancing searches that your solicitor will require.

My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Aberporth. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you plan to refinance then Co-operative will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Co-operative mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am downsizing from our property in Aberporth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aberporth. We have lived in Aberporth for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Aberporth. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Aberporth and other locations in 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 practitioner who completed the work.
I'm buying my first flat in Aberporth benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.
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 CML website. CML 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.
I am four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Aberporth. We are not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new contact details and have the loan are re-issued. Your conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating fees and complications. So that should be your starting point.
