My fiance and I are intent on purchasing residence in Moss Nook. My lawyer is not on the lender approved panel. Can I still use my Moss Nook conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a solicitor to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your home. The solicitor will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One can appoint a Moss Nook conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they can do so.
I am acquiring a property for cash in Moss Nook. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Moss Nook. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Moss Nook conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook should be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.

We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Moss Nook solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Moss Nook solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Moss Nook, conveyancing having been completed in 2004. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Moss Nook with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079
With only 54 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
