I am acquiring a property for cash in Dyserth. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Dyserth. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Dyserth conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Dyserth should provide you some sensible advice here.
I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Dyserth with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
We are buying a house and the solicitor has referenced Chancel Repair for which the house could be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Dyserth
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Dyserth to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I'm buying a new build house in Dyserth with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it will jeopardize 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.

My financial adviser has recommended their lawyer for the conveyancing in Dyserth - won’t it be easier to just use them?
You need to establish if the estate agent is recommending a lawyer or introducing to a property lawyer. There are plenty of Dyserth selling agents who recommend two or three Dyserth conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
