I can't travel far from Llanymynech. What is the rationale as to why all Llanymynech lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Pre- 2008 most banks displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have since looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Llanymynech?

We are purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Llanymynech. We would like to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Llanymynech can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
When it comes to lenders such as Kent Reliance, do Llanymynech conveyancing practitioners incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Llanymynech building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Llanymynech conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Llanymynech. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanymynech and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Llanymynech is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanymynech are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanymynech you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanymynech may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
