I am purchasing a flat in Trelogan. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to retain my Trelogan conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
You must appoint a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required if you need a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. One may appoint a Trelogan property lawyer of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
Would the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Trelogan?

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Trelogan. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Aldermore approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Leeds Building Society, do Trelogan lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Is it the case that all Trelogan solicitor practices on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the CLC.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Trelogan bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Trelogan conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
