I was referred a lawyer who has given a fee estimate £1700 for fixed fee conveyancing in Llanrwst. I am looking to sell a purpose built house for £300,000. This sounds overpriced. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Llanrwst?
The charges are a little high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you couldcome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer.

My wife and I are about to complete buying a house in Llanrwst but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Skipton are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a Skipton approved list is required to disclose to Skipton of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanrwst.
My property lawyer in Llanrwst has never been on on the Nottingham Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Nottingham Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Llanrwst solicitors but Nottingham Building Society will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Get an alternative lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Nottingham Building Society panel
We are aiming to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Llanrwst. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only be done after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over.

is it true that all Llanrwst solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Llanrwst off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Llanrwst. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Llanrwst

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
