I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Llanbrynmair solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Llanbrynmair conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanbrynmair conveyancing searches.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Llanbrynmair conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for Nottingham to send the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham done the survey? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Llanbrynmair. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llanbrynmair conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Llanbrynmair I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanbrynmair suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
