The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Ruthin who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main concerns with entering into any lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Ruthin conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to be granted injunctive relief to prevent the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Ruthin with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We have a Ruthin conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society says she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ruthin is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ruthin are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ruthin you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ruthin may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

There are numerous properties in Ruthin on private roads. My partner and I are purchasing such a property. What would be the pros and cons of purchasing a property on a private road?
Ruthin conveyancing solicitors will be well versed in transacting propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancer will investigate Land Registry data to identify any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
