We are selling our house in Maesteg. Will the property lawyer need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Is there a list of Kent Reliance panel solicitors in Maesteg on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

The mortgage over my property is with Skipton for my property in Maesteg. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?

You must advise Skipton before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor.

About to purchase flat in Maesteg. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Maesteg conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Maesteg I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Maesteg for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to 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 regarding this matter.

We are in the middle of buying a residence in Maesteg. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact the marketability of the house?

Maesteg conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
