My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Abercarn. I’m looking to sell a modern property for £175,000. Is this overpriced? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Abercarn?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are willing to expend time scrutinising prices you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, you maylive to rue choosing an an untested solicitor. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can represent your bank.

We're in Abercarn, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Planning on purchasing a house in Abercarn. 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 Skipton 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 Abercarn property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Abercarn and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Abercarn. We have lived in Abercarn for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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)
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Abercarn I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abercarn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
