We are planning to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Llanarth with a mortgage. We have a Llanarth lawyer, however the lender advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to select one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Llanarth property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; can we not demand that the bank use our Llanarth conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Llanarth conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Llanarth conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Llanarth and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being pedantic. The Llanarth solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander 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 would like to rent out my leasehold apartment in Llanarth. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your previous Llanarth conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
