We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Henllan
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Henllan conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Henllan with the intention of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Henllan can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Henllan state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you fail to have the approvals in place you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Henllan home move. If a new share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. A minority of Henllan leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.

My solicitors in Henllan have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
