We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Benllech for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Nationwide Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have reduced the amount of firms they use to represent them. You should note that Nationwide Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Nationwide Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Benllech only execute one or two conveyances a year.

We previously chose solicitors located in Benllech on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Benllech conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Benllech. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
You must advise Coventry BS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Benllech basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Benllech conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Benllech do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
