AssumingI was to buy a simple residential homein Deganwy for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Deganwy?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the disbursement for searches. Your solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be a lot.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Deganwy?

We are selling our house in Deganwy. Does my conveyancer need to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
What does a local search tell me regarding the house my wife and I buying in Deganwy?
Deganwy conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Onsearch The local search is essential in every Deganwy conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Deganwy is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Deganwy are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Deganwy you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Deganwy may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Deganwy. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Deganwy - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Deganwy, conveyancing having been completed April 2010. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

With just 79 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
