Is it the case that all Pwllheli solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Pwllheli building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Pwllheli conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Pwllheli agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Pwllheli. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Pwllheli conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Pwllheli.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Pwllheli prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a loan on a flying freehold premises.

I have been advised by a number of property agents in Pwllheli to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I'm selling a apartment in Pwllheli. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
