My IFA says he needs my Tredegar lawyer’ panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Tredegar office but they have not got back to me yet.

My wife and I are purchasing a newly built duplex in Tredegar and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and my preference is not to prolong the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I am buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Tredegar who is on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Tredegar conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Tredegar.
How does conveyancing in Tredegar differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tredegar contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Tredegar tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tredegar or who has acted in the same development.
Am I best advised to use a Tredegar conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal work but they are based approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Tredegar conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Tredegar conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
