My IFA has asked me for my Tintern lawyer’ panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Tintern office but they have not got back to me yet.
You are best placed to get this information from your Tintern conveyancer . Most Tintern law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
Due to complete my purchase in Tintern next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Tintern.
The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Tintern 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Tintern. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
