I just bought a house at auction in Bodfari. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?

All auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Bodfari lawyer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Bodfari?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Bodfari I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bodfari suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Do I need to be concerned by third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Bodfari conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be most helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest lawyers to choose. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Bodfari, conveyancing was carried out February 2003. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Bodfari with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
You have 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £23,800 and £27,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence.

My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Bodfari. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they said that they were on all major UK bank panels. The financial adviser called just now to advise that they are not on the Principality approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Principality selecting their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some building societies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Principality to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Principality's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Bodfari lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another property lawyer into the equation.
