My fiance and I are planning to buy a property in Treuddyn and have appointed a Treuddyn conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Treuddyn conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Treuddyn solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
How up to date is your database of Treuddyn solicitors on the conveyancing panel? Do send you an updated list?
Treuddyn conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from directly.
We are planning to buy with . I called into a few local solicitors yet cant to find a Treuddyn conveyancing firm on the approved list. Please you assist?

My wife and I have a terraced Victorian house in Treuddyn. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Treuddyn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Treuddyn I would like to talk to a lawyer about myhome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be conducting your conveyancing in Treuddyn.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Treuddyn should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
