I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Pwllheli. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Pwllheli. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Pwllheli bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Pwllheli conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being problematic. The Pwllheli solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Pwllheli with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I'm refinancing my primary home to a buy to let mortgage with Birmingham Midshires and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The location we are interested in is Pwllheli. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the conveyances?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to connect the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pwllheli. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Pwllheli - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Pwllheli, conveyancing having been completed in 2008. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Pwllheli with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
With only 59 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
