Me and my wife are buying a ground floor flat in Llanwrda. My property lawyer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Llanwrda conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You must use a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You may appoint a Llanwrda solicitor of your choosing. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
Some advice if I may. My Llanwrda solicitor is assuring me that he has toapply for Llanwrda conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. These Llanwrda checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanwrda conveyancing searches.

We had chosen solicitors locally in Llanwrda on the Barclays solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Barclays but by your Llanwrda property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Llanwrda. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Llanwrda has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone RBS or the broker and finalise any relevant forms. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llanwrda.
