IfI were to acquire a simple residential homein Rhayader for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Rhayader?

Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the costs for searches. The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be significant.

Will conveyancers ask for money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Rhayader?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Rhayader your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be required immediately before exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Rhayader I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rhayader for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Are there any apps to assist me to locate a Rhayader law firm on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am willing to travel upto 20miles to meet the conveyancer.
