I am downsizing from our property in Vale Of Glamorgan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Vale Of Glamorgan conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Vale Of Glamorgan. We have lived in Vale Of Glamorgan for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Vale Of Glamorgan. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan

Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Vale Of Glamorgan before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Vale Of Glamorgan. I have land on a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My father-in-law mentioned that before selecting a conveyancing firm they need approved by your mortgage company. This is my first home move but I have an offer in principle with Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing lawyer in Vale Of Glamorgan at the ready. Does Virgin Money need an approved solicitor to be selected? Does a list of panel firms even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing solicitor in Vale Of Glamorgan?
You need to use a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. The first thing to do is call your chosen Vale Of Glamorgan conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen Vale Of Glamorgan property lawyer but Virgin Money will need to appoint a solicitor from their approved list. The net result is additional fees and likely frustration.
- Choose a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancer to seek to join the mortgage company panel.
