Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aberystwyth

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Aberystwyth is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor 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 Aberystwyth conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Some advice if I may. My Aberystwyth lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Aberystwyth conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Aberystwyth checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Aberystwyth conveyancing searches.

We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Aberystwyth who is on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Aberystwyth.

We are buying a house in Aberystwyth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

My offer was accepted on a house in Aberystwyth on 20/1/2026, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Aberystwyth solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Aberystwyth postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Aberystwyth.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Aberystwyth completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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.

Is it possible to transfer to a new firm as I have to select a firm on the Britannia conveyancing panel. I was using a local conveyancing solicitor in Aberystwyth round the corner but the firm is not accepted by Britannia

It would be our pleasure to assist you find a conveyancing solicitor in Aberystwyth on the Britannia panel.
