My Conveyancer in Llanarth is not listed on the Virgin Money Approved Panel. Can I still use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Virgin Money panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Llanarth lawyers but Virgin Money will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Virgin Money panel

How does conveyancing in Llanarth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Llanarth contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Llanarth typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llanarth or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Llanarth I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanarth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Been on the hunt for a solicitor for leasehold sale conveyancing in Llanarth. We are selling, simple no mortgage to discharge, no rush, currently vacant. Received a quote from a conveyancer for £800 plus VAT which is a tad steep considering its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Llanarth?
As it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT is likely to be about the best for a Llanarth solicitor firm.
