Is the fact that my solicitor in Kilgetty is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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 simply call the Kilgetty conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Our Kilgetty lawyer has spotted a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Kilgetty where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Kilgetty conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities 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 start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.

In this scenario the tenants enjoy being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
