Does a directory service exist listing Virgin Money panel solicitors in Conwy on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are in need of a Conwy conveyancer on the Virgin Money please make the most of our facility.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Conwy on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further amount for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Barclays but by your Conwy conveyancer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
How can we tell if a Conwy conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Conwy obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.
I am buying a house and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to pay because it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Conwy

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Conwy concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Conwy. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Conwy who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Conwy conveyancing firm 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 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Conwy, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
