I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Y Felinheli. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Y Felinheli. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Y Felinheli conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Y Felinheli will provide you some sensible guidance concerning this.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Y Felinheli on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Y Felinheli postcode.

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.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Y Felinheli. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Y Felinheli who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Y Felinheli conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
