Can you point me to a directory of Lloyds panel solicitors in Wrexham on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings visible online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Wrexham solicitor on the Lloyds please use our facility.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Wrexham building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Wrexham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Wrexham accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Wrexham. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Wrexham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Wrexham.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Wrexham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Wrexham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wrexham. Having lived in Wrexham for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
The deeds to my house are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Wrexham 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to establish that you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Wrexham in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on this type of home.
