I am selling my home in Blaina. Will my lawyer need to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Blaina and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business tenants, granting the right to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end.

I am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Blaina. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The broker advised that a survey is not needed as the property was only constructed 16 yrs ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
