Castelnau conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Castelnau. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include checks to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Castelnau can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Does a directory service exist listing Lloyds panel solicitors in Castelnau on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings available over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Castelnau conveyancer on the Lloyds please make the most of our facility.
Is it the case that all Castelnau solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I am purchasing my first flat in Castelnau with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Castelnau I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Castelnau for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Castelnau and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides protection to business leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and assist with commercial conveyancing in Castelnau
