We are buying our first home. The solicitor has messagedto enquire if we would like to order additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we are clueless as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Pentraeth
The extent of Pentraeth conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately comprehend what information each search could give you. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Should you be in doubt, ask your conveyancing practitioner to provide guidance.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Pentraeth what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Pentraeth conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Pentraeth. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Pentraeth on 10/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage 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.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
