It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Trefriw. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Trefriw relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Trefriw?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
Are all Trefriw Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
When it comes to lenders such as Skipton, do Trefriw solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware 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 application.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Trefriw has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Yorkshire BS or your broker and finish off any relevant forms. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Trefriw.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Trefriw. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply a car parking plan. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Trefriw. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Trefriw - 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.
