My fiance and I decided to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in Llangollen with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We use our Llangollen conveyancing practitioner but Yorkshire Building Society says her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Yorkshire Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
Me and my partner are buying a house in Llangollen. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in Llangollen on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Llangollen lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a AIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Llangollen solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llangollen solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Llangollen I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llangollen suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
