We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Rudry recommended on your site but have come across some other fee calculations on the internet seem less expensive – why is this?
You can find many firms of conveyancing organisations promoting supposedly cut-price conveyancing, yet more often than not extracosts result in the closing fee markedly uplifted. Conveyancers are obliged to make sure that charges outlined in terms of engagement should be equitable raised The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Rudry clearly state all costs for a standard conveyancing case.
My flat in Rudry is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the lawyer have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Rudry took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Rudry ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Rudry. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that it’s a sale only, £450 + VAT would be about the lowest for sale conveyancing in Rudry.
