I have just over seventy years unexpired on my lease and need a lease extension for my apartment in Shotton. Conveyancing solicitors on the Chelsea Building Society panel can deal with such extensions right?

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Shotton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Shotton with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Given that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a house in Shotton I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Shotton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Shotton should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
Should I go with a Shotton conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can deal with the legal formalities but his firm is located 300kilometers away.
The benefit of a local Shotton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Shotton know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Shotton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
