The Rhyl conveyancing firm handling our Rhyl conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Will my conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Rhyl.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Rhyl. There are those who purchase a house in Rhyl, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Rhyl. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
I'm buying a new build house in Rhyl with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Rhyl
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good.

Last February I purchased a leasehold property in Rhyl. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
