My IFA says he needs my Llanfyllin law firm’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Llanfyllin office but they don't know it.
Have you tried speaking to your Llanfyllin conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Llanfyllin law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
My partner and I are refinancing our apartment in Llanfyllin with Leeds Building Society. We have a son 19 who lives with us. 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 a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong 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 Leeds Building Society. This is solely used to protect Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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 can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Llanfyllin bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Llanfyllin conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
About to purchase maisonette in Llanfyllin. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llanfyllin property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Llanfyllin has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Santander or the financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llanfyllin.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llanfyllin is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanfyllin are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanfyllin you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanfyllin may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
