I was recommended to a solicitor who has quoted just over a thousand pound for no sale no fee conveyancing in Gwernaffield. I am hoping to sell a modern detached home for £250,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Gwernaffield?

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Gwernaffield I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gwernaffield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Gwernaffield leasehold property is £350.

The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply answers.

Are there any major works in the planning that will likely increase the service costs? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be built into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Gwernaffield require leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger works.

We have appointed a Gwernaffield conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have noticed in the terms and conditions that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be worried or is that standard with conveyancer?

We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate specific conditions in place on monies sitting in their bank.
