I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Rhosesmor. I have resided for the last twelve years in Rhosesmor. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Rhosesmor conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Rhosesmor will be able to give you some constructive advice here.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Rhosesmor completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

What tools are available to locate a Rhosesmor law firm on the conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am happy to travel upto 25miles to meet the lawyer.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Rhosesmor. Conveyancing and mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Rhosesmor who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Rhosesmor conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Rhosesmor, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Rhosesmor with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 50

You have 50 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

A couple of months ago I was told by my bank that their approved solicitors work on no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Rhosesmor. My purchase fell through nevertheless the lawyers have requested search fees! They say the fees are seperate!

Rhosesmor conveyancing search costs are separate expenses not legal fees as these are payable to independent parties.
