We are due to complete buying a house in Magor but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Barclays are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the Barclays approved list is obliged to disclose to Barclays of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Magor.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Magor. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you now have to retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the deal. All auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to the conveyancer working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete on the on the contractual date .
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Magor. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Magor will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
About to purchase apartment in Magor. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Magor conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Magor and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Magor. We have lived in Magor for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 illness)

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've received an estimate from them. They are almost £250 cheaper than my own Magor conveyancer. Should I use them?
Builders frequently have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your local Magor lawyer.
