AssumingI were to buy a freehold propertyin Kinmel Bay mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Kinmel Bay?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the costs for searches. The lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.
I am mortgaging my house in Kinmel Bay, does my lawyer have to be on the RBS Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS 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 transaction.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Kinmel Bay 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Kinmel Bay I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kinmel Bay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Is there a reason that Kinmel Bay conveyancing fees are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
There is always more work necessary for leasehold conveyancing. Kinmel Bay has many leasehold properties. There is more paperwork involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
