Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barmouth

My partner and I are looking to purchase a home in Barmouth and are in fact using a Barmouth conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Barmouth lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Barmouth lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

We see that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Barmouth?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Barmouth.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Barmouth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
