My fiance and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Pembroke. My Conveyancer is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Pembroke conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Proceed with your existing Pembroke conveyancer but your bank will no doubt appoint a lawyer on their approved panel. The net result is additional cost together with likely interruption.
- Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to apply to join the lender panel

It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Pembroke. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Pembroke relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Pembroke for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Pembroke conveyancing specialists.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Pembroke. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
