At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Llandough and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Llandough you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Llandough)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Llandough?

Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Llandough.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Llandough , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Llandough conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Llandough registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Llandough I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llandough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Llandough. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Llandough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
