Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Wrexham conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?

My relative suggested that if I am buying in Wrexham I should 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 Wrexham Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Wrexham.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Wrexham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wrexham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wrexham 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 Wrexham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wrexham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I own a leasehold house in Wrexham. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Wrexham who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Wrexham conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

If a Wrexham lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the premises for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. This information is helpful as a) areas can cause problems for the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will wish to know about it What is the length of the lease?
