Me and my partner are buying a leasehold flat in Penmaenmawr. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Penmaenmawr conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have numerous choices available to you here
- Complete the deal with your chosen Penmaenmawr conveyancing practitioner but your bank will undoubtedly retain a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees and probable frustration.
- Get a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your lawyer to attempt to join the lender panel

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Penmaenmawr. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative 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.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Penmaenmawr. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Penmaenmawr conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Penmaenmawr I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Penmaenmawr suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
