I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Fairbourne based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company to see if they allow a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Fairbourne.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Fairbourne. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Now that you have exchanged you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property should have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Fairbourne bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Fairbourne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being problematic. The Fairbourne solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I completed on my home on 5 January and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Fairbourne said it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Fairbourne particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Fairbourne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property so registration formalities is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Fairbourne. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Fairbourne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
