The conveyancer who assisted with my previous purchase has quoted £1400 for freehold conveyancing in Hawarden. I’m hoping to downsize from a modern house for £300,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hawarden?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. Where you are happy to invest time comparing prices you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Hawarden. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may stored with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Hawarden relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hawarden?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am buying my first flat in Hawarden with a loan from Clydesdale. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hawarden. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Hawarden - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
