We note that you have a post code search directory identifying law firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Burry Port?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Burry Port.
we are a couple who decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Burry Port with a residential mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We use our Burry Port conveyancing solicitor but Nationwide Building Society says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
We had chosen conveyancers locally in Burry Port on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Burry Port conveyancer. Some firms on the Lloyds panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Burry Port. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Burry Port is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I require fast conveyancing in Burry Port as I am faced with a deadline to exchange contracts in less than 4 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would advise that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Burry Port the following are examples of issues that can crop up and therefore impact market value: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

We are soon to buying a house in Burry Port. Can our conveyancing practitioner have our transaction price a secret from the likes of Rightmove. How could this be achieved ?
HM Land Registry are legally obliged to note price paid data on the official title for residential properties countrywide including premises in Burry Port. The register of title is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law excluded certain homes such as your one in Burry Port.
You can make a request of the Land Registry to withhold the price paid entry but the response would be in the negative.
