Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Llantwit Major conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
Llantwit Major conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
Is it correct that all Llantwit Major CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We expect to receive a DIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Llantwit Major solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llantwit Major solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Llantwit Major. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
How does conveyancing in Llantwit Major differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llantwit Major come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Llantwit Major tend to 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llantwit Major or who has acted in the same development.

The estate agent has suggested using their conveyancing practitioner for my conveyancing in Llantwit Major - won’t it be better to just use them?
It is not always the case and you are entitled to use whichever solicitor of your choosing for your Llantwit Major conveyancing. The conveyancer put forward by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right property lawyer, they may put forward their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
