My property lawyer in Rhosllanerchrugog is not on the Clydesdale Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Clydesdale panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Rhosllanerchrugog lawyers but Clydesdale will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as result in frustration.
- Choose a new lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Clydesdale approved.
- Persuade your Clydesdale based solicitor to seek to join the Clydesdale panel
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Rhosllanerchrugog. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rhosllanerchrugog?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I have been told by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rhosllanerchrugog?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Rhosllanerchrugog. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

We own a leasehold flat in Rhosllanerchrugog. Conveyancing was completed in five years ago. I have read on numerous advice forums that I should not let the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Rhosllanerchrugog residential long term leases are for a fixed term - often just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Rhosllanerchrugog were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. This may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to eighty years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
