I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Pembrokeshire. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Can conveyancing in Pembrokeshire to be concluded inside two weeks?
Where you are under pressure to exchange we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted previoushomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Pembrokeshire conveyancing firm. Second, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Pembrokeshire conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Many Pembrokeshire conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Pembrokeshire off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Pembrokeshire lawyer having checked that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Pembrokeshire postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Pembrokeshire.
