I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Rhos On Sea but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Rhos On Sea
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Rhos On Sea conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We had instructed conveyancers located in Rhos On Sea on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Rhos On Sea property lawyer. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Rhos On Sea conveyancer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Rhos On Sea is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rhos On Sea are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rhos On Sea you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rhos On Sea may ascertain 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 property.
What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Rhos On Sea conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Rhos On Sea conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

We are in the process of buying a house in Rhos On Sea. Conveyancing is not yet done but we would like have our transaction price confidential from sites such as Rightmove. Is this achievable and how?
HM Land Registry as a matter of law obliged to specify price sold data on the official title for residential properties countrywide including premises in Rhos On Sea. The register of ownership is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law if they failed to allow access to the register.
You can ask the Land Registry to hide the price paid data but the response would be a No.
