Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Rhyl who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Chelsea Building Society. I am now being charged double. Should I look for an alternative conveyancer?

If is important to ensure that the conveyancer can also act for Chelsea Building Society.

What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Rhyl?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Rhyl and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Rhyl is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a worrying emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Rhyl?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Rhyl. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Rhyl differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rhyl contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Rhyl typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rhyl or who has acted in the same development.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Rhyl and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
