We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Pentyrch who is on the RBS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

We're in Pentyrch, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am assisting my niece sell her house in Pentyrch. Does the solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory component of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Pentyrch conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable local accredited person
is it true that all Pentyrch conveyancing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Pentyrch on 14/8/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Pentyrch concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pentyrch. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Pentyrch - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
