I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Glan Conwy. I have been residing for the last dozen years in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Glan Conwy conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Glan Conwy should provide you some constructive advice concerning this.
Are the Glan Conwy conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Bank of Ireland?
Glan Conwy conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.
I am buying a new build house in Glan Conwy with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations.

My lawyers in Glan Conwy have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
