I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Llanharan property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Llanharan lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Llanharan?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Llanharan I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Llanharan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The benefit of a high street Llanharan conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Llanharan conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
