Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Creigiau is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Creigiau conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important number one tip you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Creigiau?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Creigiau and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Creigiau should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Creigiau - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
