Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Santander. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the expensive side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. That being said, providing that you were content with the service the firm gave you couldcome to regret opting for an an untested lawyer.

My wife and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll with UBS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the UBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to UBS. This is solely used to protect UBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of UBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am purchasing a property in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.
I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Llanfairpwllgwyngyll conveyancer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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 Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
