Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Corwen. Is there a reason why all Corwen solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders culling a number of firms off their official list of approved property lawyers .

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Corwen registration formalities.

Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I pay a service charge for my property in Corwen. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a clearance plan but there remains two outstanding as of today.

The sale price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then deal with the outstanding monies following completion of the purchase.
