When it comes to conveyancing in Llwyngwril getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Llwyngwril conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for HSBC to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC conducted the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We expect to receive a OIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Llwyngwril solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llwyngwril solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

How does conveyancing in Llwyngwril differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Llwyngwril contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Llwyngwril usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Llwyngwril or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Llwyngwril is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llwyngwril are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llwyngwril you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llwyngwril may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Llwyngwril. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
