Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to to identify firms on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Craven Arms?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
We expect to receive a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Craven Arms solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Craven Arms solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
My husband and I are at the point of viewing flats in Craven Arms and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Craven Arms. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Craven Arms. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Some leases for properties in Craven Arms do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

Are there any major works anticipated that could increase the maintenance fees? It would be prudent to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the block as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues such as the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of other people what they think of them. On a final note, be sure you know the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes. The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is frequently retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders.
