Can your site be used to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Welshpool even if I’m not purchasing or selling a house, for example where I intend to acquire an office in Welshpool with a loan from Bank of Ireland?

Our comparison service is mainly there to select residential conveyancing solicitors in Welshpool but we have recorded towards the end of this page a few Welshpool commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to make contact with the firm directly to see if they can also act for Bank of Ireland

I am intent on selling our house in Welshpool and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Welshpool. We have lived in Welshpool for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Welshpool?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Welshpool. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Welshpool ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will not give a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Welshpool. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Can you set a few of specific benefits to choosing a local conveyancing practitioner in Welshpool

Home movers in Welshpool decide on using a nearby high street lawyer so that they can visit if they have questions, and to sign documents without using the Royal Mail.

One could suggest that there exists a marginal benefit in selecting a lawyer nearby to the house you are hoping to purchase, due to the in-depth knowledge of the region and potential local issues - nevertheless this is moot. Most conveyancers are now online and may be based anywhere.
