My lawyer in Cilfynydd is not on the Alliance & Leicester Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Alliance & Leicester approved list?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Cilfynydd solicitors but Alliance & Leicester will need to use a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing fees as well as cause frustration.
- Get a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Alliance & Leicester panel

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Cilfynydd.

I am purchasing a new build house in Cilfynydd with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Cilfynydd. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Cilfynydd - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to extend the lease. How long is the Lease?
