My solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Llanfyrnach. The other side have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
I acquired my house on 13 April and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Llanfyrnach said it will be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Llanfyrnach particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Llanfyrnach is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Llanfyrnach I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning thehouse move before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Llanfyrnach. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Llanfyrnach - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
I bought a basement flat in Llanfyrnach, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Llanfyrnach with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2091
With 65 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
We are hoping to buy a 2 room apartmentin Llanfyrnach with a loan from a mortgage company. We like our solicitor in Llanfyrnach but our bank says she’s not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Llanfyrnach conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Llanfyrnach : 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
