The Rhyl conveyancing firm handling our Rhyl conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Rhyl solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rhyl is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Leeds Building Society have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Rhyl has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Leeds Building Society or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate paperwork. Leeds Building Society will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Leeds Building Society will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rhyl.
A relative recommended that where I am purchasing in Rhyl I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Rhyl Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Rhyl.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Rhyl concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Rhyl in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on such a home.
