I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Swansea East based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and check if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Swansea East.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Swansea East is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Swansea East are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Swansea East you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Swansea East may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
