I was told today by my mortgage broker that my Arthog the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Arthog lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Arthog. I have been living for the previous twelve years in Arthog. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Arthog conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Arthog will provide you some constructive advice concerning this.
We're in Arthog, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold house in Arthog. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Arthog who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Arthog conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I bought a garden flat in Arthog, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Arthog with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2096
With just 71 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
