Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and know-how. It is possible that they may have handled previoushomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Neath conveyancing lawyer. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is said that just under twenty per cent of Neath conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is understood that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Most Neath conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Neath bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Neath conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Neath. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
