My solicitor has discovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Cross Keys. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Cross Keys. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Cross Keys lawyer having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Cross Keys postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Cross Keys.

The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Cross Keys. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Cross Keys conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Aldermore approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Cross Keys I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cross Keys suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Hoping to buy a property located in Cross Keys and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Cross Keys. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Cross Keys area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
