I selected a local firm for my conveyancing in Abertridwr recently. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I seeI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Abertridwr?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such promotions rarely protect you from outlay for example Abertridwr conveyancing search fees.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Abertridwr what would it be?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Abertridwr conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I'm buying my first flat in Abertridwr with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. 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.
