I am acquiring a flat in Buckley. My Conveyancer is not on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Buckley conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?
Various options include
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Buckley conveyancer but your lender will undoubtedly retain a conveyancing practitioner from their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with likely interruption.
- Choose a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company panel of solicitors

I have instructed a Buckley conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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 Buckley 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.

Two months into a sale of a flat in Buckley. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the landlord. So far we have issued a cheque for £250 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £118 for answers to questions supplied by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.
You will not have control over the extent of the charges for this information however the typical costs for the information for Buckley leasehold premises is £350. When it comes to Buckley conveyancing deals it is customary for the owner to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to address such questions although many will be content to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any statutory time limit by which they are required to provide answers.
