I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my rented apartment in Penyffordd by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

Can I be sure that the Penyffordd conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Penyffordd seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being pedantic. The Penyffordd solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Penyffordd has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone UBS or your broker and complete any appropriate forms. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Penyffordd.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Penyffordd - 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.
