Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Pencader. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Pencader. Will the solicitor commission the energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was maintained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned before the property is advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Pencader conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local energy assessors

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Pencader and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Pencader conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pencader. Having lived in Pencader for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Pencader. Now, I need my documents but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

I am buying my first flat in Pencader with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it may impact my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
