I am in the process of selling my apartment in Rhosneigr and the estate agent has just called to advise that the purchasers are appointing a new conveyancer. The reason given is that the lender will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only engage with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Rhosneigr ?

Lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Nationwide, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.

Banks point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Rhosneigr. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with Clydesdale runs out on 5/1/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 7/1/2026. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate if he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or indeed all three taking into account what has happend in your house move as of today.

I am buying a property in Rhosneigr. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?

Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Rhosneigr.
