My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Penrhyn Bay with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society.We have a Penrhyn Bay conveyancing practitioner but Yorkshire Building Society says she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Yorkshire Building Society panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
We are downsizing from our home in Penrhyn Bay and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Penrhyn Bay. We have lived in Penrhyn Bay for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Penrhyn Bay I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penrhyn Bay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Penrhyn Bay and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Penrhyn Bay basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Penrhyn Bay conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Penrhyn Bay conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
