I hired a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Betws Y Coed yesterday. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seeI am on the hook for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use a web based solicitor practice who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Betws Y Coed?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such deals generally do not protect you from expenditure e.g. Betws Y Coed conveyancing search fees.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Betws Y Coed?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company to ask if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Betws Y Coed.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Betws Y Coed is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

I am one month into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Betws Y Coed. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A lawyer would have to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has your loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. The conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating charges and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold flat in Betws Y Coed. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Betws Y Coed who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
