My solicitor has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Corwen. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Nottingham as we intend to conduct renovations to our home in Corwen. Do we need to select a high street Corwen solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nottingham don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Corwen. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Corwen is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Corwen took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Am I best advised to go with a Corwen conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can execute the legal work however her office is 300kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Corwen conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Corwen know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unknown Corwen conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Corwen based.
