Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Solva is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Solva conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Solva. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is phone your conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Platform Home Loans Ltd who may be able to assist.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Solva ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Solva. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My partner and I may need to rent out our Solva 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Solva conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Solva do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? Generally speaking the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Solva require leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. This information is important as a) areas can result in problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the running of the building you will need to know about it
