Established third party relationships is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing solicitors.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rhyl is more expensive?

Rhyl leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Rhyl. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision primarily exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Rhyl. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have instructed a Rhyl conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rhyl surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Should I be concerned by third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Rhyl conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to instruct. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.

My uncle has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Rhyl. Should I find my own conveyancer?
