Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Lixwm who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret opting for an an untested lawyer. If is important to check that the conveyancer can also act for The Royal Bank of Scotland.

The owners have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such contracts promoted for Lixwm conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out agreement (also termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it diverts attention away from progressing with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Lixwm conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to obtain an injunction to stop the owner completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of damages.
It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Lixwm. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lixwm relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Lixwm. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
You must advise UBS in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
My offer was accepted on a house in Lixwm on 26/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Are Principality entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
