My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Dymock with a mortgage. We have a Dymock conveyancer, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Dymock solicitor and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to require that the mortgage company use our Dymock conveyancing practitioner ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Dymock conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Dymock I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Dymock conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Dymock Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Dymock.
I got the keys to my flat on 12 September and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Dymock said it would be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Dymock particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dymock registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Swansea but reside in Dymock. My conveyancer (based 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Dymock who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Dymock based
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Dymock. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Dymock - 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.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the residence for a couple of years before you are eligible to carry out a lease extension. How long is the Lease?
