I am in the throes of porting my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a solicitor as part of the process. I had a chat my former Mold conveyancing practitioner who who completed the conveyancing when I originally acquired the premises. The costs estimate sent of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you shop around you could trim some of the expense by perhaps £125. That being said, providing that you were happy with the legal work the firm offered you mightlive to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to be sure the firm can also act for Accord Mortgages Ltd.

My wife and I have lately bought a property in Mold. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Mold?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Mold. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Mold.
I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Mold. Does the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Mold conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable Mold assessors

Is it the case that all Mold solicitor firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I have a terraced Victorian property in Mold. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mold and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
