We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Ruabon solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.
My offer on a semi in Ruabon has been accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ruabon. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Ruabon conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
How does conveyancing in Ruabon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ruabon approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Ruabon tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ruabon or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Ruabon I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ruabon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Most Ruabon leasehold properties will have a service bill for the upkeep of the building invoiced on behalf of the management company. If you acquire the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally periodically during the year. This may differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all probability there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a large amount, say around £50-£100 but you should to enquire it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds.

We are planning to purchase a 2 room flatin Ruabon with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Ruabon but our mortgage company advise he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Ruabon solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Ruabon lawyer?
No, not really. The bank home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Ruabon : 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
