My IFA has asked me for my Pontllanfraith solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Pontllanfraith office but they don't know it.

When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Pontllanfraith and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Pontllanfraith you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pontllanfraith)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am in the process of mortgaging my apartment in Pontllanfraith, does my lawyer need to be on the Principality Conveyancing panel?
