Please help. My Glynneath solicitor is informing me me that he has toapply for Glynneath conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Glynneath conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Glynneath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Glynneath approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Glynneath usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Glynneath or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Glynneath is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Glynneath are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Glynneath you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glynneath may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Glynneath
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Glynneath conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
