Is the fact that my solicitor in Pontyclun is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Pontyclun conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
AssumingI were to buy a simple residential housein Pontyclun mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Pontyclun?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the costs for searches. Your lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors solicitor, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Pontyclun. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Pontyclun?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Pontyclun both have about fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Pontyclun. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
