AssumingI was to acquire a simple residential homein Carmarthen mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Carmarthen?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the costs for searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.
I have been advised by my solicitor that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Carmarthen conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Intending to buy a apartment in Carmarthen. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Carmarthen conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are planning to purchase a four bedroom maisonettein Carmarthen with a mortgage from a bank. We like our conveyancer in Carmarthen but our bank advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Carmarthen conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Carmarthen : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
