Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Llanfyrnach. I would like to know the understand why all Llanfyrnach property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies purging less reputable firms from their panel of approved solicitors .
Having sold my house in Llanfyrnach last April yet the purchaser is calling me to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from UBS as we wish to carry out alterations to our house in Llanfyrnach. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Llanfyrnach solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
UBS do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
I'm spending time viewing flats in Llanfyrnach and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this point? I will be getting a home loan with Co-operative.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Co-operative, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
