Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Aberdovey is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Aberdovey conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Aberdovey
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

My plan is to purchase a ground floor maisonette in Aberdovey. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance paperwork. I was told today I was advised that the owner needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why would my property lawyer want to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the last month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Aberdovey to find Conveyancing in Aberdovey in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete premises - which is definitely better. You should clarify with your property lawyer but it would appear that your lawyer is seeking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance cover.
