My wife and I are about to exchange buying a house in Ewloe but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Principality will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Any solicitor that is on a Principality conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Ewloe.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Ewloe what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Ewloe
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Ewloe and elsewhere in Flintshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Ewloe should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your lawyer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we wish to carry out alterations to our house in Ewloe. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Ewloe solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Kent Reliance would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Ewloe building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Ewloe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Where a Ewloe lease has less than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this will be. For most Ewloelease extensions you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension. How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? Who is in charge of the block?
