Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Flint. My lender is Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 18/11/2025, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I are selling our home in Flint and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Flint lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Flint. Having lived in Flint for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Flint completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Flint I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Flint suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I am downsizing from my home. My previous conveyancers have shut. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Flint if that makes a difference.

To what extent are Flint conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish transparent conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Flint or beyond.
