Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Snowdonia who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate fees appear a bit high. Where you are willing to spend time comparing charges you may be able to shave off some of the cost by say £125.

Remember to be sure that the solicitor can act for Accord Mortgages Ltd.

My grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Snowdonia with a mortgage from Yorkshire BS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Snowdonia. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Snowdonia involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
