Is it correct that all Tywyn CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
When it comes to lenders such as Yorkshire BS, do Tywyn property lawyers incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Tywyn. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Tywyn are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Tywyn in which case you should be looking for a Tywyn conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is located on an estate. Your lawyer should advise you fully on all the issues.

As a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my first floor flat in Tywyn. As a result of flawed financial planning I fell behind with remittance. I negotiated a payment schedule but there remains about £2000 outstanding at the current time.
I want to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to settle the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently discharge the debt from the completion monies - is this viable?
Do clarify with the conveyancer handling your Tywyn conveyancing but one option could be to arrange for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the buyers. The final price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then discharge the fees once they are the owners.
