Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Mynydd Isa who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were happy with the legal work the firm provided you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to enquire that the solicitor can also act for Godiva Mortgages Ltd.

My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Mynydd Isa with Virgin Money. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Virgin Money. This is solely used to protect Virgin Money if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Virgin Money had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in Mynydd Isa. My lawyer (approximately 235 miles awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Mynydd Isa to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Mynydd Isa based
Being a tenant I am liable for a maintenance contribution for my flat in Mynydd Isa. As a result of flawed financial planning I slipped behind with payments. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there is still approximately £3000 outstanding as of today.
I am under pressure to sell and I am nervous that this could hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears now. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
Your conveyancer should be in a position to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment from completion monies. This is an example of why it is sensible to appoint a lawyer in Mynydd Isa as they are likely to have an open line of communication with the management company.
