Is it correct that all Llanallgo CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We previously appointed solicitors locally in Llanallgo on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Llanallgo lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

I am purchasing a new build house in Llanallgo benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Llanallgo I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llanallgo for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
