What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Machen
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Machen conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a property in Machen?
If a Machen property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a sale your conveyancer would just be asked to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the conveyance, typically this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler in the future you may apply to have the deceased name removed from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
