I am considering refinancing my house in Cemaes Bay, does my lawyer have to be on the TSB Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the TSB conveyancing panel, but TSB would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
We are due to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Cemaes Bay. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only be done once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Cemaes Bay or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Cemaes Bay.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Cemaes Bay conveyancing solicitors have been selected. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS done the valuation? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Cemaes Bay. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Cemaes Bay with a mortgage from Britannia. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would impact my loan with Britannia. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 purchased a split level flat in Cemaes Bay, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Cemaes Bay with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
With 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as professional fees.
