My fiance’s uncle is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I will receive preferential pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in Fforestfach?
You should compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this page. You will notice that charges seem to be different but the service one can expect are distinct between property lawyers as is the case with most professions.
The sellers of the home we are purchasing are using a conveyancing practitioner in Fforestfach who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Fforestfach conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to be granted an injunction to prevent the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.
I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Fforestfach who is on the HSBC Bank approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Fforestfach?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Fforestfach.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Fforestfach to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I accepted an offer on a Fforestfach bungalow we inherited six years ago in 2011. I have over 12 years conveyancing experience and, now retired, wish to do my own legal work. The buyer's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to lawyers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be told so that a decision can be made as to whether they are willing to proceed.
