At long last a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my single bedroom maisonette is coming by the end of next week. Can you put forward a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Conwy?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Conwy. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be seduced by companies offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Conwy. In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in additional fees and still not get the service expected.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Conwy. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Conwy and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Conwy. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Conwy

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Conwy. I've stumble upon a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all formalities completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
