What is the optimum way to check that the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Lydney is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Skipton Building Society thus paying £192.00 in additional legal charges.

You should make the most of the search tool on this site. Pick the lender and type ‘Lydney’ or your location and you will see a number of lawyer based in Lydney or nearest you.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Lydney I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lydney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Lydney to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My father-in-law has urged me to use his conveyancers in Lydney. Do I follow his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Lydney conveyancing lawyer the best way to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have actually used the conveyancer you're considering.

How do I find out who owns a house in Lydney?

On the basis that the premises is registered with HMLR, and you have sufficient information of the location of the property, you should be able to obtain details from the HMLR of the recorded owner for a fee.
