Can I be sure that the Borth conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Borth obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I am buying a property in Borth. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?
Given that your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nottingham where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Borth.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Borth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Borth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Borth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Borth - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My solicitor in Borth is asking me for identification documents stating that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the bank Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not specific to conveyancing in Borth
