When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Lampeter property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Lampeter. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

How does conveyancing in Lampeter differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Lampeter approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Lampeter usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lampeter or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Lampeter ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may not issue a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lampeter. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
