Me and my partner are buying a flat in Tremeirchion. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Tremeirchion conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?
You have a number of alternatives open to you here

- Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to join the lender’s conveyancing panel

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Tremeirchion I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tremeirchion suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am expecting to complete on the purchase a house in Tremeirchion but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the current proprietors of four thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on the bank conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to the bank of any changes to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to your mortgage company then they would need to refrain from representing you and the lender.
