It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Pontyclun the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Pontyclun lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
In the event thatI were to purchase a straightforward housein Pontyclun mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Pontyclun?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.
Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Pontyclun?
There are two types of lawyers who can perform conveyancing in Pontyclun namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals administer conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or acquisition of property.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Pontyclun property lawyer on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Pontyclun completed. 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 premises 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 was recommended by numerous selling agents in Pontyclun to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Newport but live in Pontyclun. My lawyer (approximately 235 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Pontyclun to witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Pontyclun based
