My fiance and I are intent on buying property in Llandysul. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Llandysul conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?

The property lawyer will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with.

My lawyer has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Llandysul. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Llandysul from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Llandysul can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check via your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring?

Where you fail to have the paperwork in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand.
