Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Llanfairfechan?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
We are purchasing a apartment in Llanfairfechan. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am helping my aunt sell her property in Llanfairfechan. Does the solicitor arrange an energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory element of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Llanfairfechan conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable local accredited person
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Llanfairfechan building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Llanfairfechan conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Llanfairfechan. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Llanfairfechan
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Llanfairfechan conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
