My IFA has requested my Cwmcarn law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Cwmcarn branch but they cant find it on their system.

My partner and I are purchasing our first home. The property lawyer has calledto check if we wish to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's relevant for conveyancing in Cwmcarn
The range of Cwmcarn conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general approach to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Where you are in doubt, ask your property lawyer to advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Cwmcarn is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cwmcarn are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cwmcarn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cwmcarn may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Cwmcarn where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Cwmcarn conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
