I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Hengoed. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Hengoed. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Hengoed conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Hengoed will provide you some helpful advice here.
We are planning to purchase with Melton Mowbray Building Society. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Hengoed conveyancing firm on the Melton Mowbray Building Society panel. Could you help?

My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at flats in Hengoed and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Aldermore.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with Aldermore, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Hengoed bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Hengoed conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hengoed is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer 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.

I am four weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Hengoed. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A lawyer would have to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating costs and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
