Some advice if I may. My Pantymwyn lawyer is advising me that he has toconduct Pantymwyn conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. These Pantymwyn searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Pantymwyn conveyancing searches.
Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Pantymwyn. My lender is Virgin

We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Pantymwyn. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Pantymwyn will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Pantymwyn. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My fiance and I have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved list of property lawyers then we will be subject to an a further charge of £200. This is because they will then have to select a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You should ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Pantymwyn on the approved list for HSBC.
