When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Minera conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Minera. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Minera is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I acquired my apartment on 4 July and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Minera said it will be registered in less than a month. Are transfers in Minera uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Minera registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Minera I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Minera suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
