My mortgage broker says he needs my Aberdare law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Aberdare office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Aberdare conveyancing practitioner . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Aberdare. I have resided for the last 15 years in Aberdare. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Aberdare conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Aberdare will provide you some helpful guidance in this regard.
is it true that all Aberdare solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the CLC.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Aberdare on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Aberdare conveyancer. Some firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Aberdare accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Aberdare. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is understandable 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 approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Aberdare conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Aberdare.

Developers have suggested I use a conveyancer and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £400 cheaper than my family Aberdare lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers normally have lists of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Aberdare solicitor.
