We are planning to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Tredegar with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Tredegar conveyancer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to select one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Tredegar as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Tredegar conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Tredegar and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my . I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Tredegar I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tredegar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
