Is the fact that my conveyancer in Nantyglo is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Nantyglo conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
The owners of the property we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing practitioner in Nantyglo who has recommended a lock out agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements the norm for Nantyglo conveyancing transactions?

There are various pros and cons to having them but you should to check with your lawyer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these contracts are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Nantyglo.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Nantyglo with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Nantyglo. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Nantyglo - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
