Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Pentre is more expensive?
Pentre leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
We are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom flat in Pentre with a homeloan from Alliance & Leicester .We use our Pentre conveyancing lawyer but Alliance & Leicester says his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
