This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Aberdare. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Aberdare?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

My husband and I are spending time viewing houses in Aberdare and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Co-operative.

It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Aberdare. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Aberdare to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over another?

We refuse to make any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I'm remortgaging a bungalow in Aberdare. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
