I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner home loan to a BTL Coventry Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat my past Llandyrnog conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I previously purchased the house. The fee calculation issued of £550 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The charges are a tad high. If you shop around you could trim some of the cost by say £125. That being said, if you were content with the service the firm offered you maycome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Llandyrnog where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Llandyrnog conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Plenty Llandyrnog leasehold properties will have a service charge for maintenance of the building invoiced on behalf of the freeholder. If you acquire the property you will have to pay this amount, normally quarterly throughout the year. This can vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a significant figure, say about £25-£75 but you should to check it because on occasion it can be prohibitively expensive. It is important to be aware if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is due in the near future that will be shared by the leasehold owners and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance costs or result in a one time invoice.
Me and my partner are hoping to buy a three room first floor flatin Llandyrnog with a loan from a lender. We have a solicitor in Llandyrnog but our bank says she’s not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Llandyrnog conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Llandyrnog lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Llandyrnog : a mortgagee 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
