Are all Glan Conwy Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
I am buying a property in Glan Conwy. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Glan Conwy.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Glan Conwy conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Glan Conwy surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Glan Conwy is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Glan Conwy are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Glan Conwy you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glan Conwy may determine 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 property.
I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
