My mortgage broker has requested my Penarth law firm’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Penarth office but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried calling your Penarth solicitor about this?. Most Penarth conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Penarth is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Penarth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Penarth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penarth may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I was advised by numerous selling agents in Penarth to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Penarth. I am am starting to be disappointed with the level of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and have the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks panel to avoid added expenses and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

My plan is to purchase a ground floor apartment in Penarth. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance paperwork.
