We have rather pushy sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements recommended for Llandudno conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract is not the norm in Llandudno, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial upside that your vendor may secure by breaching the contract, however morally shameful that may be.

I am buying a 3 bedroom semi in Llandudno. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to see if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Llandudno can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Llandudno conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for Santander to issue the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Llandudno I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llandudno for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I am due to review estimates for conveyancing in Llandudno from numerous property lawyer and appoint one. Should I ask them to sit tight until I I have an offer accepted on a apartment.
We would recommend that you wait to get your solicitor to commence work and order searches once the sales memo has been sent by the estate agent particularly as Llandudno conveyancing searches are costly.
