My home in Harlech is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the solicitor have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Harlech is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Harlech are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Harlech you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harlech may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Harlech
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Harlech conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
