I am in the throes of switching my current homeowner home loan to a BTL Bank of Ireland mortgage. The bank has said that I must appoint a solicitor as part of the process. I spoke to my previous Rhuddlan conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I previously acquired the premises. The quote e-mailed to me of £575 plus disbursements has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you could shave off some of the expense by say £125. That being said, providing that you were happy with the assistance the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to be sure that the firm can represent Bank of Ireland.

My nephew is buying a house that has just been built in Rhuddlan with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Rhuddlan for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Alliance & Leicester won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Rhuddlan conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms concerning their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Rhuddlan conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Rhuddlan is one of the many areas where the solicitors showing on our search results are are approved Alliance & Leicester .
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Rhuddlan and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Rhuddlan lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rhuddlan. Having lived in Rhuddlan for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rhuddlan
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Do I need to be wary by third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Rhuddlan conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
