As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Ponthir what is your top tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Ponthir
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Ponthir or throughout Torfaen is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Ponthir an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I am purchasing a new build house in Ponthir benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ponthir I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ponthir for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
