I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Certain extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
My lawyer has informed me that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing?

Kent Reliance have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Blaenau Ffestiniog has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Kent Reliance or the financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Kent Reliance will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Kent Reliance will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
I am downsizing from our home in Blaenau Ffestiniog and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Having lived in Blaenau Ffestiniog for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 ailment)
I am purchasing my first flat in Blaenau Ffestiniog with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Blaenau Ffestiniog is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Blaenau Ffestiniog are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 property.
