We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Brecon listed on your site but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations via the web look less expensive – why is this?
There are plenty of conveyancing organisations advertising supposedly cheap conveyancing, yet more often than not extracosts end up with the final bill being inflated.

My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Brecon and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Brecon building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Brecon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Intending to buy a apartment in Brecon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money 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 Brecon solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
