I am buying a property mortgage free in Glan Conwy. I have been living for the last twelve years in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Is it the case that all Glan Conwy solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Glan Conwy on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Glan Conwy solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Co-operative panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Glan Conwy is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
