Is the fact that my conveyancer in Burry Port is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Burry Port conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am being told by my solicitor that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Burry Port conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Does a directory service exist listing Skipton panel solicitors in Burry Port on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Burry Port is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
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 Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Burry Port took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Burry Port I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burry Port for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Burry Port cover?

By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements.

I pay a service charge for my ground floor flat in Burry Port. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains two outstanding as of today.
I want to sell and I am worried this may hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and then repay the debt from the completion monies - is this achievable?
It would be wise to check with the property lawyer undertaking your Burry Port conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The purchase price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the fees once they are the owners.
