I was referred a solicitor who has quoted £1400 for leasehold conveyancing in Pencoed. I’m looking to sell a purpose built property for £175,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Pencoed?

We're in Pencoed, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Pencoed conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Pencoed.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Pencoed is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Pencoed are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pencoed you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pencoed may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

What makes a Pencoed lease defective?
Leasehold conveyancing in Pencoed is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Alliance & Leicester all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I bought a garden flat in Pencoed, conveyancing having been completed October 2010. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Pencoed with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2094
With only 70 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations.
