We instructed a Caersws based lawyer for our conveyancing in Caersws today. After carefully reading the small print I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Caersws?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the cases that fail to complete. Please beware that such schemes rarely cover outlay such as Caersws conveyancing search fees.
I own a freehold premises in Caersws yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Caersws and has limited impact for conveyancing in Caersws but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am buying a garden flat in Caersws. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Caersws you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Caersws.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Caersws ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

I'm remortgaging a bungalow in Caersws. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
