Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bargoed costs more?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold property in Bargoed is frequently greater than on a freehold transaction. This is due to the extra work necessary in liaising with the landlord and managing agents to obtain information concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Bargoed. I need to find out whether they are on the Santander approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Bargoed. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Bargoed.
We were going to get a OIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Bargoed solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Bargoed solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Bargoed and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be wise to start 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 forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
