Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Deeside who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

I am acquiring a property for cash in Deeside. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Deeside. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Deeside conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Deeside will provide you some constructive guidance here.

I am buying my first flat in Deeside benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Deeside is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Deeside are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Deeside you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Deeside may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.
