I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Menai Bridge. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am intent on selling our house in Menai Bridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Menai Bridge conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Menai Bridge. Having lived in Menai Bridge for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years unexpired on my lease in Menai Bridge. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report to be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Menai Bridge.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? Please note if it is less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term.
