Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Mold who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I am now being charged double. Should I hunt for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. Where you are willing to spend time contrasting costs you may be able to trim some of the cost by say £125. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm offered you maylive to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. If is important to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Mold. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have instructed a Mold solicitor having made sure that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Mold postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Mold.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Mold. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mold and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Mold and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Mold is one of the many locations in which the firms we work with are located
I have miscalculated my finances and am a few thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Mold , but I still want to proceed. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lesser deposit. Most vendors will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
