I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Llandudno by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the owners side, try to a target completion date that everyone will work to achieve
My partner and I are selling our property in Llandudno and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Llandudno lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Llandudno. We have lived in Llandudno for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 ailment)
The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Llandudno 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £400,000 garden flat in Llandudno next Thursday. The management company has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Llandudno?
Llandudno conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not involves the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality one has little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.

In the main the cost for major works tend not to be included within service charges, although there some managing agents in Llandudno require leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger works. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders enjoy control and although a managing agent is often employed if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. You should be aware if it is less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Llandudnolease extensions you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease.
