Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Rhuddlan who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from HSBC Bank. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds.

I am buying my first flat in Rhuddlan with a loan from Virgin Money. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rhuddlan is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Rhuddlan are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rhuddlan you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rhuddlan 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.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Rhuddlan
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Rhuddlan conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
