Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of building regulations insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Kidwelly?
The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Kidwelly on 2/12/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Are Kent Reliance entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Kidwelly 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Kidwelly. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
