Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Llanwrda is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Llanwrda conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Llanwrda even if I’m not purchasing or disposing of a house, for example if I want to buy a shop in Llanwrda with a mortgage from Aldermore?

Is there a list of Co-operative panel solicitors in Llanwrda on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings available on the web. If you are in need of a Llanwrda conveyancer on the Co-operative please make the most of our facility.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Lloyds as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Llanwrda. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Llanwrda solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Lloyds would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Llanwrda. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Llanwrda with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with Leeds Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Am I better off to go with a Llanwrda conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal work however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Llanwrda conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Llanwrda know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that should trump using an unknown Llanwrda conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Llanwrda. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Llanwrda do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Llanwrda, conveyancing having been completed November 2011. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Llanwrda with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092
With only 67 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.
