My husband and I are intent on buying property in Llanfyrnach. My Conveyancer has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Llanfyrnach conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You will need to use a conveyancer to complete the legal work required if you require a mortgage to purchase your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One can instruct a Llanfyrnach conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer selected is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

Some advice if I may. My Llanfyrnach conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Llanfyrnach conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. These Llanfyrnach checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanfyrnach conveyancing searches.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Llanfyrnach with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Llanfyrnach I would like to talk to a solicitor regarding thetransaction before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Llanfyrnach.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Llanfyrnach should be the figure that you are charged.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Llanfyrnach which will be sold. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many EAs will insist that it is done before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?

In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
