We decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Ruthin last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I noteI am responsible for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Ruthin?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such deals generally do not protect you from expenses for example Ruthin conveyancing search expenses.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ruthin is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ruthin are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ruthin you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Last October I purchased a leasehold house in Ruthin. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
