Having sold my house in Pentre last April yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to say their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your conveyancer is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your lawyer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Pentre.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Pentre. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or your financial adviser and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your property lawyers.

I am buying a new build flat in Pentre. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pentre
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Pentre. I have land on a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

Much to my surprise my conveyancing solicitor in Pentre is asking me for identification documents saying that this is part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Pentre
