Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Llanwrtyd Wells. Is there a reason why all Llanwrtyd Wells solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies culling less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancers .
Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Llanwrtyd Wells but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Coventry BS are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Coventry BS approved list is obliged to disclose to Coventry BS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Llanwrtyd Wells. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
