I instructed a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Newport last week. Going through the Ts and Cs I seewe are liable for costs even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and select a web based solicitor practice promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Newport?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such promotions tend not to protect you from expenses such your Newport conveyancing search costs.

Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian property in Newport. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Newport and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

Can you please explain what my options are where my Newport conveyancing searches reveals negative results?

Ordinarily, almost all adverse entries arising from Newport conveyancing search results can be addressed in advance of completion or title insurance can be taken. You should remember that although you may be acquiring the property and might be content to accept the search results, your building society or bank may not, and ultimately the decision rests with them.
