It is is a decade since I bought my property in Llandaff North. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may still be with the solicitor who handled your 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 solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Llandaff North relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My flat in Llandaff North is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my property lawyer need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Llandaff North. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Llandaff North. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Llandaff North differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Llandaff North come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Llandaff North usually buy the land, 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.

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.
