My husband and I decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Borth and Talybont with a loan from Britannia.We like our Borth and Talybont conveyancing lawyer but Britannia informed us his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Britannia panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Britannia solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
We are aiming to move house in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Borth and Talybont. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent but this can only be done after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Borth and Talybont or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Borth and Talybont.
Can I be sure that the Borth and Talybont conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Borth and Talybont 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 which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Borth and Talybont conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Borth and Talybont surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Borth and Talybont I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Borth and Talybont suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Borth and Talybont. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Borth and Talybont - 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.

In the main the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Borth and Talybont ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for larger works. The prefered form of lease structure is where the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this scenario the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.

I think he will just be need to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner but he is concerned it could delay the sale of the flat. Should he appoint a conveyancing practitioner to update the title details for the house?
