Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Rhiwderin who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I try and find a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?

It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Rhiwderin. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Rhiwderin relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
The mortgage over my property is with HSBC for my property in Rhiwderin. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform HSBC?
You must advise HSBC prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. You need not do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Rhiwderin solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
My offer on a semi in Rhiwderin has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Rhiwderin. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Rhiwderin conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
