I went with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Dingle recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seeI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Dingle?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those cases that fail to complete. Also remember that these arrangements rarely cover expenditure such as Dingle conveyancing search charges.
I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Dingle. I have lived for the last dozen years in Dingle. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Dingle conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Dingle should be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Dingle. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Dingle involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Dingle. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Dingle - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
