I am selling my apartment in Padstow. Does the solicitor need to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.
I just bought a flat at auction in Padstow. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property will have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to the lawyer working for you as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Padstow bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Padstow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Padstow on 20/2/2024, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. On the whole a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located.
