Can you point me to a directory of Barclays panel solicitors in Ogmore By Sea on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, HSBC are being a right pain. The Ogmore By Sea solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Our offer on a detached house in Ogmore By Sea has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ogmore By Sea. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Ogmore By Sea conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Ogmore By Sea before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Ogmore By Sea. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before 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. However, 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).

How much is the ground rent and service charge? Does the lease have onerous restrictions? Can you inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the service charges?
