I am in the process of selling my maisonette in Llanharan and the estate agent has just called to say that the buyers are changing their conveyancer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a big named lender only deal with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Llanharan ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as HSBC, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for more than 25 years.
Banks point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Llanharan. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanharan?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Llanharan. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Llanharan for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Llanharan conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in Llanharan with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
