My partner and I are looking to buy a flat in Llandegla and have instructed a Llandegla conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Alliance & Leicester have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Llandegla conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Llandegla solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Llandegla. Will the solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to coordinate?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments was maintained a required component of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Llandegla conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Llandegla accredited person
I am buying a terrace house in Llandegla. We would like to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to see if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Llandegla will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Llandegla lawyer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I'm buying my first flat in Llandegla with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
