I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Bodelwyddan. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Our god-son is buying a newly built flat in Bodelwyddan with a mortgage from Santander. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Bodelwyddan who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Bodelwyddan.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bodelwyddan for my house move. Is it possible to review a solicitor's record with the legal regulator?

What are the common deficiencies that you come across in leases for Bodelwyddan properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bodelwyddan. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Skipton Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Bodelwyddan, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bodelwyddan with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084
With 59 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I am due to review costs for conveyancing in Bodelwyddan from three property lawyer and decide on one. Should I get them to hold tight until I I have my bid accepted on a flat.
We suggest that you wait to get your conveyancer to open a file and apply for searches after the sales confirmation has been issued by the selling agent especially as Bodelwyddan conveyancing searches are not inexpensive.
