I have just been advised by my mortgage broker that my Tywyn solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Tywyn lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Tywyn conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
Do I have to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Tywyn so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
These days approved lawyers for mortgage companies undertake all of the work via Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you can check if you have the option of visiting the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
I am aiming to move home in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Tywyn. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Tywyn or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Tywyn.
My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Tywyn. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Tywyn can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or require the consent of another owner. Some extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Tywyn which have in the region of fifty years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Tywyn is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Tywyn conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
