Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Abergavenny with a mortgage. We like our Abergavenny solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or retain our Abergavenny conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We feel that this is inequitable; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Abergavenny lawyer ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Abergavenny conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Just bought a detached house in Abergavenny , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Abergavenny conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Abergavenny registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Abergavenny is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Abergavenny are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Abergavenny you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Abergavenny may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Abergavenny agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Abergavenny. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland started with Bank of Ireland?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Abergavenny conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Abergavenny.
