Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Towyn who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the high side. Where you are prepared to invest time contrasting costs you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to regret choosing an an untested lawyer. Remember to ensure that the conveyancer can act for Accord Mortgages Ltd.

It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Towyn. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Towyn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
we are a couple who intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Towyn with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Towyn conveyancing lawyer but Accord Mortgages Ltd advised that he's not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a house in Cardiff but I am based in Towyn. My conveyancer (approximately 200 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Towyn to witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Towyn based
I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Towyn. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. Earlier today I was advised that the owner must send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why would my lawyer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been in hold for the last 4 weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Towyn to find Conveyancing in Towyn in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole premises - which is definitely better. You should check with your lawyer but it would seem that your property lawyer is attempting to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance.
