I plan on buying a flat in Borth. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Borth conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
You must use a lawyer to complete the legal work required when you need a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can instruct a Borth property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer selected is not on the mortgage company approved list additional charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
