My mortgage broker has asked me for my Penrhyndeudraeth solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Penrhyndeudraeth office but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried calling your Penrhyndeudraeth solicitor about this?. Most Penrhyndeudraeth law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
I am purchasing a property in Penrhyndeudraeth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Penrhyndeudraeth.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Penrhyndeudraeth on 6/5/2025, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have instructed a Penrhyndeudraeth property lawyer having made sure that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Penrhyndeudraeth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancing specialists.
