Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in St Asaph?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am purchasing a end of terrace house in St Asaph. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to determine if these alterations are prohibited?

Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in St Asaph will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in St Asaph. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in St Asaph agreed to, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in St Asaph. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, St Asaph conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with searches.

My plan is to purchase a garden flat in St Asaph. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. I was told today I was advised that the vendor needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above in addition. Why does my property lawyer want to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been waiting for the last month…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in St Asaph to discover Conveyancing in St Asaph in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is definitely better. Do check with your lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is looking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
