Is it realistic for conveyancing in Abersychan to be completed inside 3 weeks?
In the event that the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local relationships and insight. It is possible that they could have conducted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Abersychan conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is understood that nearly one in five of Abersychan conveyancing transactions are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Abersychan conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
Completed the sale of my flat in Abersychan last February yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to say her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

If applicable, your lawyer should also evidence that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Abersychan.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Abersychan lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We had appointed solicitors located in Abersychan on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate sum for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Abersychan solicitor. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Abersychan solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Abersychan surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Abersychan I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abersychan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
