I am due to exchange buying a house in Menai Bridge but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however UBS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Your property lawyer being on a UBS conveyancing panel is obliged to advise UBS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Menai Bridge.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Menai Bridge 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Menai Bridge. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Menai Bridge is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Menai Bridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Menai Bridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Menai Bridge may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Menai Bridge
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Menai Bridge conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
