My husband and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Penllergaer with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We use our Penllergaer conveyancing practitioner but Leeds Building Society informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
Me and my partner are buying a flat in Penllergaer. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Penllergaer?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Penllergaer and Solicitor partnerships in Penllergaer to choose from It is important to make clear that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal work in the home buying process.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Penllergaer. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Just acquired a terraced house in Penllergaer , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Penllergaer conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Penllergaer is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Penllergaer is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Penllergaer are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Penllergaer you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penllergaer may ascertain 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.
