My financial adviser has requested my Oswestry lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Oswestry office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Oswestry lawyer . Most Oswestry law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
Can the conveyancing lawyers listed on your site perform attended exchange conveyancing in Oswestry?

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Oswestry. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Oswestry solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Oswestry solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Oswestry surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Oswestry I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Oswestry in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
