Me and my partner are purchasing a house in Old Colwyn. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we wish to carry out renovations to our house in Old Colwyn. Do we need to select a local Old Colwyn solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Bank of Ireland would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland panel.

Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian property in Old Colwyn. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?
You need to read 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 Old Colwyn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Is it worth updating the title information for the house?
The is no need to bring up to date the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence needed to show how the name change has come about.
Any buyer’s lawyer will review the title information and requisition evidence to establish the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
