Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that these arrangements generally do not cover disbursements by way of example Port Talbot conveyancing search fees.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Port Talbot will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Port Talbot.

I'm buying a new build house in Port Talbot with a loan from Halifax. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with Halifax. 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 inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Port Talbot, conveyancing was carried out in 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Port Talbot with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078
With only 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
