My best friend’s dad is a solicitor. I anticipate that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Gilwern?

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Gilwern costs more?
Gilwern leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving relevant notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
Can you help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Gilwern conveyancing?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Gilwern on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Gilwern property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Gilwern. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I moved into my house on 5 February and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Gilwern advises it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Gilwern uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Gilwern registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
