We opted for a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Llanidloes last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to use a web based conveyancing company who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Llanidloes?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these arrangements tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Llanidloes conveyancing search costs.

The Llanidloes conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Llanidloes have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the conveyancing panel and my family Llanidloes lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Llanidloes benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Llanidloes is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Llanidloes are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanidloes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanidloes may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
