My Prestatyn lawyer has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

About to purchase apartment in Prestatyn. 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 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 Prestatyn is on the conveyancing panel.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Prestatyn , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Prestatyn conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Prestatyn is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Am I right to be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Prestatyn conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest solicitors to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
Why do Prestatyn conveyancing fees differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is more work involved for leasehold conveyancing. Prestatyn has many leasehold properties. There is more hours involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
