It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Llandovery.

Should I go with a Llandovery conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Llandovery conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must trump using an unknown Llandovery conveyancing lawyer just because they are Llandovery based.
