Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Llantwit Fardre who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Virgin Money. I am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate fees appear a bit high. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds.

The Llantwit Fardre conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Llantwit Fardre have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel and my previous Llantwit Fardre lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Llantwit Fardre. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Llantwit Fardre.
I am expecting a AIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Llantwit Fardre solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llantwit Fardre solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Llantwit Fardre I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llantwit Fardre in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
