I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a local Ystradgynlais conveyancing lawyer?

My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Ystradgynlais and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Ystradgynlais conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ystradgynlais. Having lived in Ystradgynlais for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 sickness)
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ystradgynlais for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ystradgynlais conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Ystradgynlais I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ystradgynlais in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in Ystradgynlais. My solicitor (based 200 miles from merequires that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Ystradgynlais who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Ystradgynlais based
