Me and my partner are buying a ground floor flat in Aberdovey. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Aberdovey conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One will need to instruct a conveyancer to complete the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. The solicitor will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can instruct a Aberdovey property lawyer of your choosing. However, if the lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.

I am purchasing my first flat in Aberdovey with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Aberdovey I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Aberdovey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

What are the frequently found problems that you encounter in leases for Aberdovey properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Aberdovey. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Barnsley Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
