We note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Newport?

we are a couple who are buying a newbuild apartment in Newport with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We like our Newport conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd informed us he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Newport. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Newport who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Newport conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Newport, conveyancing formalities finalised 4 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Newport with a long lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2080
You have 55 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
