Much to our surprise we have been told by our financial adviser that my Pentre lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Pentre lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.

My partner and I are selling our property in Pentre and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pentre. Having lived in Pentre for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Pentre differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pentre contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Pentre usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Pentre or who has acted in the same development.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Pentre conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Pentre conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non Pentre conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
