Our conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Abertillery. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution.

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Abertillery based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the mortgage company and ask if they allow a cash alternative.

We previously chose solicitors with offices in Abertillery on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Abertillery solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

    If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? What are the costs for lease extension work?
