I opted for a high street firm for our conveyancing in Llanbradach last week. Reviewing the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I go with them or appoint an internet lawyer who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Llanbradach?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that these schemes tend not to cover outlay e.g. Llanbradach conveyancing search charges.
Would the conveyancing lawyers identified via your search tool execute auction conveyancing in Llanbradach?

The Llanbradach conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Llanbradach have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my family Llanbradach lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
I have been told by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llanbradach?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Llanbradach building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Llanbradach conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Llanbradach. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My husband and I are four weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Llanbradach. We are not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you must advise them of the new contact details and have the offer are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.
