What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Deeside? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should stipulate this.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Deeside completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

How does conveyancing in Deeside differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Deeside approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Deeside tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Deeside I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Deeside in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
