I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years built) in Morriston. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Morriston?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Morriston conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Morriston.

My husband and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Morriston with a loan from Barclays .We would like to retain our Morriston conveyancing practitioner but Barclays advised that her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barclays panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Barclays approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
