Our lawyer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Llanymynech. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Llanymynech? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Llanymynech conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to validate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your solicitor ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
We are due to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Llanymynech. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only be done once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Llanymynech or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Llanymynech.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we intend to carry out alterations to our home in Llanymynech. Do we need to select a nearby Llanymynech solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Kent Reliance would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Llanymynech building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Llanymynech conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. 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 left on the lease.
My relative advised me that where I am buying in Llanymynech I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Llanymynech Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Llanymynech.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Llanymynech I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanymynech in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
