My Solicitor in Llandeilo has never been on on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are not on the Leeds Building Society approved list?
Your options are as follows:

After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are using a Llandeilo conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable local assessors
We had appointed conveyancers located in Llandeilo on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Llandeilo solicitor. Some firms on the Santander panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Llandeilo has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Nationwide or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Nationwide will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Nationwide will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llandeilo.
I was advised by numerous estate agents in Llandeilo to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Llandeilo. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Llandeilo do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
