I do hope you can assist me. My Llanishen conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Llanishen conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanishen conveyancing searches.

I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Llanishen. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a required part of selling a property. An EPC needs to be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Llanishen conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Llanishen energy assessors
My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Llanishen. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Llanishen can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are in need of a Llanishen solicitor on the RBS please make the most of our facility.
How does conveyancing in Llanishen differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llanishen contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Llanishen typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Llanishen or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Llanishen I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanishen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
